Now back to the discussion, Playford have 1 coach represented here, Modbury a couple of people/committee? , any other State league clubs want their voice heard, or are they happy with the proposal ? West Adelaide (im not sure if he's an official rep) seems to not like the idea, but the fact they're...

Like I said before ....."snap shot"......2 games......120 minutes .....13 free kicks .....3 yellow cards. If a kid damages a player would it not be suitable to speak to him, they can come off & on throughout the game...the teacher...the game. The parents are not accustomed to seeing k...

Matty 2323 I understand what you are saying, especially about kids playing at their optimum level. However unfortunately senior teams are not able to attract decent crowds no matter how good their team is or what league they are in. Why is it that many people don’t go to watch? I believe it is beca...

Kind of like: Would you be happier being bottom of the A div or top of B div? pretty sure 2-3 years (13s-15s) of being bottom of Div A would see players wanting to move to a top Div B side, in turn creating spaces for top Div B players to join a Div A club. There is a reason though that clubs like ...

Did we buy players ? Didn't realise Playford received transfer money from us not the current group, im speaking back in the day. And considering the wages you offer are around 50% pay increase for the Playford lads, it is a way of "buying" them. At no stage will i ever disrespect Raiders,...

Your argument is that the player not wanted by the PL club will need a club so the SL club should pick him up.. like i said, scraps. No, my argument is get good coaches in, start SSF at u6s rather then kids to just flock to a club at u12s, start getting a name as a club that you actually do develop...

What do you call young though? I think over 12 they are not young and want to win and get one over others. We have 15 and 16 year olds playing seniors, when do you change from being a 'kid' to an adult, which is all about winning. i was 13 in state squads and i wanted both. i wanted to win while de...

Do the kids want to play A division, or the parents ? Do the kids want promotion, or the parents ? Kids leave if they're not in the A division, or their parents ? either way ZJ, as there legal guardian those parents get to make the decisions. They pay for things, and like a school, they want the be...

i understand ZJ's side of the story, and its great in theory, but in the real world, its not how it works. Kids want to play A division, or if they are in the B division, be rewarded with promotion. Kids leave if they aren't in the A division, or working within a team that will be promoted. So now y...

Yes, but 13s and 14s are currently 'B' ... why would they leave if your seniors aren't promoted ? They didn't leave at the start of the year good teams knowing that if they stuck it out for a year they'd get promoted? Or kids just playing because they love playing for their club and with their mate...

They didn't leave at the start of the year

good teams knowing that if they stuck it out for a year they'd get promoted?

please, tell me, what is the point of us remaining in the federation?... To try get promoted isnt it ? And if we get relegated .... then ....... BINGO ! Yes! but this takes that away from us. We dont have the finances to compete with other clubs player payments. I took a 50% pay cut from Raiders to...

lets be honest here... does club hopping at junior levels really matter? So whats our discussion been about for the last 4 hours then ?? :lol: :lol: i dont see this as club hoping. i see this as giving an unfair advantage to PL clubs. Kids currently club hop to play in the top level, but at the mom...

Kids should not play for points if we are really serious about developing! These debates about structures, A's & B's and club hopping really astound me :roll: agreed about the points, but what it does do is let kids play at their appropriate level. a kid may have decided to start playing footba...

Back in the 'good ol' days', what FFSA are proposing is how it was done Dont know when it all changed, but it worked back then and will work now Like harry said, it will take a couple of years for it all to settle down and fall into place, but atleast there will be more 'loyalty' shown to clubs Yes...

junior points system needs to be brought in with this rule change, that will stop the hoppers and give the clubs who develop players too stay and become stronger and not give the PL unlimited supply of the top 10% of good players which they all get now. I remember hearing raiders having over 120 pl...

No names needed ... You and I both know it was the travelling time, and thats why they went back to Playford, closer to home for the parents Our current 16s have 4 (really ??) Did they come this year or last ? If this year, then why leave as you are also in A's ? If last, then why didnt they also g...

Every kid that has left me for Raiders has shook my hand, said i was a good coach but they feel they need to be playing in the top division for their development. Who ?? Playford kids at Raiders that I know of ... u12s ... 0 u13As ... 1 u14As ... 2 u15Bs ... I'm assuming 0, we are in the B's u16As ...

1/ we have all those people at our club. But we dont have the community a club like Raiders have. 2/ I go back to when i was a junior, Playford, Para Hills and Modbury were the top 3 in almost every age group. The senior teams were doing well, clubs were well financed and E&D was producing copi...

Who ever gets relegated in 2014 can kiss 50% of their junior players goodbye. The scramble to leave those 2 clubs will be worse than the Titanic. If we at West didn't gain promotion (still not 100% yet) this year are Junior set up would be decimated beyond recognition. Enfield and Cobras not settin...

6-7 years ago your club was a shambles, but the introduction of SSG's and some excellent coaches has helped you improve significantly. I take nothing away from the hard work people have put in. But unfortunately Playford don't have the funds, or reputation, to attract players (and coaches) like Rai...

the way i see this set up is If your senior National team makes the World Cup or European Cup, then that guarantees your u23's, u21's u19's u17's etc etc a spot. All those nations trying to develop are left to rot while the elite get better and better... there's a reason teams have to qualify for sp...
