I can comment on when I watched your 15 boys playing against some of the other 15 boys sides. I did not coach this age group, I coached a younger age but I had a family member involved in this age group. It was going to be impossible for your 15 boys to beat the better teams as they were always ...

Zeljko, whoever is feeding you your info is wrong. I can guarantee that the elite players who attend nationals would do a similar amount of games to the SA kids. The NSW Premier League has 14 games and Super League 12 games and once those comps finish 95% of kids won't touch a futsal ball until the ...

GK1 wrote:Found out last night Queensland have pulled out of the open men's comp which changes our fixtures a bit, we will be playing ACT Colts in the first game instead of NSW Lightning.

Was there any reason given for them pulling out? Also is it true that SA mens only have 9 players?

Gee this topic has gone quiet! How is the preperation for the teams coming along only a week out from the tournament?

Teams had any games yet?

They havent changed anything so im guessing that FFA dont think they are in the wrong groups.

Do SA have a big break now over Xmas and New Year or are they training in between?

Firstly well done to FFSA for sending teams in most boys age groups. One question, in the 12 boys, are the sides picked as 2 equal sides or an A side and a B side. Just wondering as NSW pick an A side (Thunder) and a B side (Lightning) and ACT pick an A side (Cobras) and a B side (Colts). In the 12s ...

haha Raymond, Yes I am from NSW but I am not spying.

I was actually just wondering how Futsal is run in SA compared to NSW.

I was also just letting everybody know that NSW teams only have 5 or 6 training sessions. So im no NSW spy, more just wondering how the game is progressing outside of Sydney.

Although it falls in the new year every year it is based on the age groups that the players have just finished playing outdoor. It wouldnt really change anything to do with the competition if it were age in 2010, except that everybody would be playing 1 age older then they are now i.e. 11s at ...

The ageing goes by the age the players are at the 31/12/09.

Are the 12s an A and a B side?

Ok then Guest12.

What do your state teams do for training? Do they train alot or is it more of playing trial games etc? How often do your state teams train a week?

Have you got anything to do with the state teams that are going to Canberra this year?

That's a hard question to answer. I assume because Campbelltown has a larger comp it is easier for the coaches to identify the talent in one location. I am sure there are equally talented players at Salisbury but it is difficult for them to get the exposure for selection if the coaches do not ...

good to see SA sending 2 teams in the 12 boys. Are they an A and a B side or evenly mixed throughout?

Well done FFSA on putting those names out. Its always good to acknowledge the players that are representing their state. Out of curiousity, do any of the teams going to Canberra have a realistic chance of taking out the title? What would be regarded as a failure? (i.e. FFSA want all boys teams to at ...

I mean like at the Nationals they are 20 minute halves with 4 subs and a sub keeper at high intensity the whole game. In premier league they are 20 minute halves and most teams have 5 players and 4 on the bench (no reserve keeper).

What is it like in South Australia?

Litmanen, NSW do have premier and super youth league. But I can tell you that at least a quarter, maybe half the teams in it do not train. The games on Saturdays plaued in 12s, 14s, 16s, youth and mens though are are probably at least the standard of Nationals in the 12s, 14s, 16s age groups. The ...

Teams in boys age groups. 11 Boys Pool A ACT Cobras Auckland Futsal A Northern NSW Regional NSW Thunder Queensland Victoria Rangers 11 Boys Pool B ACT Colts Auckland Futsal B Northern NSW Hunter NSW Lightning Southern NSW Victoria Magic 12 Boys Pool A ACT Cobras NSW Lightning Solomon Islands South ...

The nationals actually begin with u11s. Maybe SA is not sending an 11s team?

Have the 11s played any trial games? If so, how did they go?

That doesn't sound very promising....
Does anybody know what the 11s are like?

I am not sure.

Just wondering if they are going to a competitive outfit in Canberra.

Are the 11s boys team that are going a good side? Also, are the 15 boys a good side?

I think most WA State teams are playing in the Vikings Nationals. In futsal it isn't a huge loss though as most of their teams end up down the bottom. Outdoor is a different story though.

Ok then, from what I have heard the comp should have at least 8 teams. Lets hope it has 9 so the boys get 8 pool matches.
2 NSW (Thunder and Lightning)
2 ACT (Cobras and Colts)
2 VIC (Blue and White)
SA
QLD
NNSW?
SNSW?

Well I am interested but can't actually be apart of it sorry.
Is this the first time FFSA has sent an 11s team over? How do they look?

Does anybody know what ages the FFSA are sending to the Nationals in Canberra? Are they sending 11s right through to mens?
