great news, well done cumberland.

Look forward to hearing all about it when you get back.

I'm already hearing premier league clubs splashing cash to ensure
Premier league status... Just in case ..does the Ffsa have the ability to
Police the wages?????

At least 2 age groups should've been implemented for next year.

i really don't get it ....must play 433...why are we obsessed with what formations?????....kids should know 5-6 systems by 15/16 years old

go for it i say....and good luck.

" who's coming with me????......dorothy boyd...thank you !!" ( jerry maguire)

should be good to see the talent on display...i think its the 1st or 2nd batch to come from the SSG structure...some of the skills on the boys i have seen this year in u/10's and u/11's has been excellent...no doubt a result of clubs focusing on SSG Im not a big fan of trials, throwing kids together...

the more football intelligence we can get for our coaches and players the better....thats 4 local clubs i know of with overseas links. I know one club is sending 2 coaches overseas for 2 weeks every year for coaching courses...then bringing that intelligence gathering back for 30 coaches.. from what...

When kids give up the game, or go to another club, how else are we to get new players .... trials We also have and need JSL teams Curious on two points. Why do you "need" JSL teams? And you have no-fee academy for 11s and 12s players. What about 13s and older? If kids and families want to...

The new Stucture will be fantastic for Junior developmnet, It will enable Coaches to try playing out from the back, possesion based football, and not win at all cost with fear of relagation. Kids will be tested trying to expermeinet with football momenst, allowed to take huge rik without fear, rath...

you just have to work out where you fit in.... Clubs that don't have a clear 5 year strategy will struggle. I think taking the pressure off junior coaches with promotion/relegation will encourage a more attacking, less fearful approach. less playing for a result mentality...points really wont matte...

Football, if played at a high level, needs a considerable amount of dedication. In most places in the world it is played all year round, with a break of about 3 months. For many kids I know, the end of the season is a sad moment, they'd rather play on and on and on - they certainly have an impatien...

lots of club hopping will happen...

watch fees go up for juniors at premier league clubs.

I suspect a few good coaches will be looking for new clubs.

what about when the parent is the best coach available .... i agree its open to exploitation but i haven't seen this at my club. if anything the opposite. Often, the only one willing to do it. In most cases yes...but i'm referring to a great coach who is unbiased ,genuinely loves the game and promo...

saw a great example today from birkalla u/11's. I was blown away by the respect these young boys showed. came up to me ( opposition coach ) before the game and wished me and my team a good game ...every single one of them.. and then again after the game. my rat bags were shocked....lol well played c...

what about when the opposite happens?..( i dont have kids by the way)

Well done, and a good game as well

agree ....great game to watch and some real talent on display .

U14A JPL Comets 3 def Western Strikers 2 @ Ellis Park, good hard-fought game, both sides had several scoring opportunities, spells of pressure, and showed their mettle, Strikers missed a penalty (saved by goalie) at 2-2 then Comets created a nicely worked goal and held on resolutely. Game attracted...

Singkok beat Capital Football in u/12s
Comets finished 3rd I think

Adelaide city win the 14's?

Ac Now in final AC vs Point Cook

Great news well done AC.. Good luck today

Comets lost 3-2 in semi final to Capital Football- pretty much a state side.

3-0 down at half time the boys fought back to 3-2 and unlucky not to grab the equaliser.

well done to all involved- huge effort to make semi's first time out.

Not sure if Adel City made semis

seen the AC 14's play as well- very impressive agree...and to think they lost players to skillaroos..AC still a benchmark in Junior football... Comets lost 3-0 to singkok but played sensationally well by all reports. Lowest winning margin Singkok have had all tournament..hopefully the boys can win t...

both clubs doing SA proud well done. Comets into semi's with a draw this morning against Northbridge. Playing Singkok from south korea this afternoon in last group game before semi's tomorrow. Well done boys ...im sure all the Comets are proud of you ...keep up the good work , have fun and enjoy the...

Comets u/12- drew 1-1( Southern Branch NSW) and won 2-0 (Redfern) in their 2 games today .

another positive display by all reports.

Got a tough game against a South Korean team tomorrow.



Not sure what the Adelaide City teams did today .

Sure is

Heard that Comets u/12's won their 1st game 1-0 against a Perth Side

and Adelaide City u/14's also won their 1st game4-0 not sure against who.

Well done to both teams.

anyone else at Kanga Cup this year from SA?

hope all the boys enjoyed themselves and by all reports some great football. what would be more favourable? - a zone team that gelled well and played some good football as a team and perhaps won.....or individuals that just hogged, took players on and tried to get noticed? which way would be better ...

on the right path.......

we played aprox 270 minutes..- controlled around 230-250mins..in my opinion.
