[Jay Walking]

Your club : Parafield Gardens
...
Introduce a u/18 SAASL comp so clubs can keep hold of junior players & help them introduce to Senior mens comp - so junior players dont go running to FFSA & clubs can establish a pathway from Junior to Seniour within their framework

Think this is a cracking idea and possibly even an u21 depending on demand. Lots of young players with the necessary skills, but possibly not the physical attributes to participate in the amateur league. The kids that are physically matured can make the leap straight to the senior team, but this provides a stepping stone to those that need it.

I think there is a good argument for a Under 21's or 23's competition.

There's enough cheating now without creating an age restrictive competition.

[Jay Walking]

It wouldn't be a premier competition like what we have now. It would provide some late bloomers a chance to play against people their own age rather than full grown men

[brooksy7]

Jay thts wht stuffed the FFSA standard is kids playing against kids, then when it came to playing against men they cldnt handle it. If they are good enuff it wont and shldnt matter wht age they are!!!

When I heard that they were restructuring the FFSA (or SASF as it was known) for season 1992, I wrote this in one of the Downs Newsletters I was putting together.
The only age restriction we should have in the SAASL are if we have a full U/18s competition again and limit of under age players in the Over 35's.

[Outlaw 2.0]

Just out of curiosity, how did the working bee go?

[legga]

It was good, the club put on some cartons of west end super and some summer wine for the girls. We chowed down on some dino's pizza and Old mary celebrated her 60th birthday..

Its not a replacement for the Ressies, more a place where the kids who would struggle against men could play in a comp who aren't good enough to play 23's in the Feds.

So they are not good enuff to play fed reserves or in the Amtr reserves which are mainly kids anyway and now you want to give them an under 23 comp to play in aswell???

Am I missing something here???
