Ok a bit of a stir of the pot, however have heard that the West Adelaide U16s for 2019 have been told by the club that they are in U16 JPL B. I thought nothing had been sorted as yet as to who has nominated for which league and secondly am amazed that a team that came last in U15s JPL B in 2018 wou...

I agree with Migrant Land that tables only tell part of the story. We need to apply 100% loadings for any club that has black and white as its primary colours, its nickname involves African animals, is run by suits, has fees over $1474, the parents are gullible idiots, its chairman is called Tony, ...

Pick the best coach. Dont worry about what "division" the team plays in. Your sons development will occur predominately through the information he is receiving during the week at training. Never pick the club, Never pick the division.. Always pick the coach. And if you don't know the coac...

Fees have to be paid in full my tonight. Ridiculous considering trials were yesterday

another newbie with an AC axe to grind

The injection of cash to support a senior team bloated by egos and over paid players paid for by the juniors fees. Why not give the kids a break and then start the trials? oh yeh that's right all the clubs want the cash injection exactly right and i bet some clubs are taking players and their paren...

One club invited players from outside the club to participate in an internal practice session/training game during this past season. Whether that counts as a trial is open to conjecture. lots of U15’s, U16’s trialling for 18’s which is fine. I’m sure there are internal trials as well but I’m yet to...

Why not give the kids a break and then start the trials? oh yeh that's right all the clubs want the cash injection Leave it too long and you only get the people who have been turned down elsewhere. However, a gap should be there to give kids a chance to recover from any niggles and enable optimum p...

How can they dictate that either? I know one club that has already had 3 trials. they always have. Senior trials can commence but not juniors. This was sent a couple of weeks ago. FFSA reminds all clubs, (in accordance with the Junior Football Calendars set in January 2018) that all Junior Trials a...

How can the FFSA dictate when trials are?

sorry, they dictate that trials cannot start before 25th of September

Apparently Adelaide City has released their juniors fee structure for 2019. Cue for outpouring of outrage. Nice one. The pre-empting , reverse-psychology trick. "Apparently " - you know perfectly well that it's been released. You had a hand in it's release. Just under $1500 for juniors......

We are NPL next year and fees still <$1K

I was referring to Vista being $500

Adelade City have shifted from developing kids to play and enjoy football to making $$. They are promising unrealistic achievements in order to convince people to pay big dollars to be part of the dream. One thing is guaranteed, most trainings will be cancelled throughout August because of pitch co...

I found out Adelaide City is having their big night tomorrow, which is open to the public. I'm assuming all questions will be answered regarding the fees. I think I will go and hopefully pick up some tips. You're kidding me aren't you? I guess you're just another parent at the club who really think...

Every U16A JPL team will beat any U17 team. But The top 5 U16A JPL teams will beat most U18 teams.....and this is the problem. There are many players that are playing U18s that wouldn't make any of the U16A JPL1 sides. U16 JPLA would beat mid to lower NPL 18's and almost all SL1 and SL2 18's. Those...

Most should be. I played senior football at 16. I've seen 17 years compete in clubs in Saturday div 1.

What are we raising if they cant compete in collegiate league?

you were probably a big fat bald Pom at 16 and looked the part.

3 Divisions in the 18's 2 Divisions in the 17's Play C's in a crap side, there's always a way. A 18's JSL would be a good thing but it doesn't need a "PATHWAY", either they want to play or they don't. Or have an Under 19's league, I'm sure these clubs need another way to get their decent ...

FFSA have offered a U18s (Like a JSL) on a SUnday.......for several years but not many takers so they havent run a competition Sturt Lions has been pushing for an U18/U19 JSL style competition for 2 years now.

The biggest problem is the stigma with the u17’s. That is why the league is of a very low standard. I also think there should be u18’s under the junior banner and bring back U23’s. This would strengthen all leagues and in turn younger players will develop into better players. the U18 league is poin...
