Hello Myself and my coaching staff were Wondering if there are any vacant senior , reserves , u/18s coaching or assistant positions available for next season we can to apply for. The Sturt Lions have an urgent need for a new U18 Coach for this season...and reserve coach too I believe Contacts for d...

We have around 4000 female participants here in SA.
NNSW have just over 11,000 and NSW Metro have over 54,000

Does this put us at a disadvantage from the get go?

As said above, though, most of the kids will drop out and the ones with true desire will end up shining through. Yes they need a level of skill to go with that desire, but getting picked at 11 years old really means nothing in the long run except more cost for the parents. 100% agree. I've seen so ...

Goes without saying that the nature of the development structure here meant the stic kids were always going to be fairly well represented in npl & even a league, it was set up to be that way. Points being; a) how high was the bar set? Football is probably at it’s peak with silly amounts of mone...

Out of all the above only three players playing overseas (Franz is back here playing NPL as far as I am aware). 'There would be a greater percentage of players now overseas who havn't been part of the FFSA programs and there is a significant number of those who have been part of the system who have...

Just asking? Have any SAP kids moved onto professional contracts?[/quote] From FFSA annual report 2016 "PLAYERS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE FFSA PROGRAM Our vision continuous to be long term and we are starting to see some positive results. It is particular pleasing to see a number of players that h...

Looking forward to it...in particular Rogic and Mooy!

Do we have a lot of this going on here?...or are families just looking for best options for their son/daughter?

I feel for Richie, he only plays the hand dealt to him. He knows little about the corrupt recommendations arriving at his door. What do you base the "corrupt Recommendations" allegations on? Hearsay or have you confirmation? FFSA must investigate SAP coaches when also directors at clubs (...

Yes it's very predictable that all coaches, assistant coaches, officials and team managers son's get selected for STIC's. They then also get selected for the later trials up until the final Skilleroos are selected. Great future for Australian football - NOT! You've not been around stic for quite so...

.....and if possible not be coaching at any club leaving them free to scout/watch kids every sunday and possibly taking sessions at clubs..... How much would you pay them and where would the money come from? 800 kids paying $150 each is a good start. 800 kids? Where does this figure come from? Thin...

Late n overdue .... God bless those that fought, and sacrificed , many footballers among them. May our current and future ones always remember and respect them.

I'm new to SA but frequently told to look outside the state for junior development. We know some uncoordinated kids selected for the next SAP intake, even they themselves can't believe it. Although ready, our son is not eligible for SAP until next year and be it the rigid age criteria or politics, ...

sounds like the usual political talk. if you get lots of private investment plus 12-14k per team then where is the training for the junior coaches? at all of these clubs? i dont think ive even heard of clubs training their junior coaches - which should be highest priority when it comes to developmen...

Watch carefully – this offers just a flavor of what gold standard football can look like for 11 year olds.

I'm 20 years old and wanting to get into coaching and eventually, managing sides. My problem is I have no idea on hiw to get to my goals, I ha e looked at ffsa and there is nothing on coaching.

Love it Mers!....who knows...maybe even E@D might convert one day.

Don't think so... Quality kids coming thru system shows selections are on the money for the most part. SAP at 10 & 11 years.. Expanded programme with more numbers and quality north/east & south west. Skilleroo programme over doubled on capacity from trial stage thru competion compared to thr...
