Yeah we've seen enough, we're outta here. With dreadful past-reputation-clubs and third world parent coaching those poor kids don't stand a chance. Our son's school doesn't even wanna hear the word soccer. Talent needs to be spotted much earlier if to correct bad habits, start developing required p...

Hey Bench Warmer, thanks for your reply. I see your point but who is to say they won't pay for all his college fees and feed him for three years. :P That way when he leaves college he won't owe the government a bucket load of money. If you can think of any questions I should ask them before handing...

This might be of interest to those who followed a thread last year about how some juniors, often of African descent look older than their age group. Obviously a global issue http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/serie-a/10635867/Lazio-threaten-legal-action-after-claims-Cameroon-17-...

I worry that the drive to concentrate resources on a smaller and smaller pool of identified talent will (if it isn't already) restrict the opportunity for more kids to play football (and younger adults too). Every initiative I read about seems to involve clubs being told to take in fewer kids. Rega...

Totally Agree - for example Cobras u13 JPL still requires 5-6 players to fill a team but if sides like this are accepted it makes it harder for everyone ! What I don't understand is that clubs have not yet nominated their Junior Teams for 2014, and until they do then the FFSA has not formally accep...

I also noticed that if your child goes to the 'right' private soccer academy, it doesn't harm your chances either. Better still, if dad runs the academy.

Which club? Which privately run academy?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMK6MCxCHPg Latest crop of Aussie superstars.... To be fair, the match 'highlights' really only showcased Vietnam, and no good passages of play from Australia, but if that is the best we have in this age group, it's a worry. Are there any SA boys in that team - and wh...

Under 14's Conceded 10 goals in 6 games, they left there bes defender back in Adelaide coz he couldn't attend all training sessions. The reason he couldn't attend all training sessions is because he has good enough to play in the 18's premier league in a successful team. Oohh well there loss is som...

When being a member of the State team does not rely on the ability to pay, then maybe the most talented players will get selected. As a matter of interest, which talented players did not get selected to go to Coffs due to the cost ? u13 Skilleroos is 11 mths of training/playing FREE plus all their ...

Both teams went to Coffs with high expectations this year..The results dont show that we did well..13s finishing bottom and 14s second bottom...but how did they play..did they play the system well...they tell us results dont matter but have a ladder....so if the ladder doesnt count how did we actua...

So by your theory, if Modbury remain in SL this year, but then get promoted to PL in 2014 while we get relegated down to SL, all our juniors will come flocking to you, correct ? Read my posts again, where have I suggested such a theory? What I have consistently said is that junior players and teams...

A substantive change to a competition structure or operations usually has pros and cons. What needs to be considered is the net benefit of the proposal and whether it can be made to work, ie if the issues can be overcome in a constructive way, without sustained disadvantage.
