Re: Fitness

They should be getting enough "fitness training" from small sided games and match days! As kids get older they will develop the fitness and agility relevent to the game, that's if the coach keeps enough intensity through traing sessions :wink: As for speed, I've heard good things about &qu...

Re: FFA or FFSA style of playing

The term "Winning" and it relevence is being taken out of context by most. It's a natural thing for players to want to win, it's importance is aimed at clubs and coaches not to have a main focus on just winning but to try develop players with adequite technical ability :wink: The formation...

:shock: Of the players who get paid at these clubs, how many have a realistic chance of hitting the big time? I'm all for high-level competitive play in the state, but having juniors pay this much is absurd, considering a large portion of it would be used to pay the seniors wages. As the person I w...
