Anyone know whats happening? Cheers geoff9559

So no adelaide hills either in pool c......is mt barker picking up from there? Also 2 ffsa teams in pool A.....i havent seen this before. Definitely requires a bit more work as a draft. Personally I'd be keeping birks up in pool a ....not have the second ffsa team. Drop WA to pool c and bring up fulham to u14 pool b. Cheers geoff9559
Cumberland picked up four of Hawks U15's so I'd imagine it's a combined U14/U15 team

Why not relegate them to 15JPLB and make A and B in 15s 11 teams and 20 game seasons?

Thats right some clubs are untouchable.

FFSA say 18 games is the ideal number but for the amount of months the season lasts for it works out at 2.5 games a month, not enough. They then give JPL A teams 22 league games + cups games. Assuming JPL A clubs get further in the cup you'll end up with season where some junior teams play every week and others hardly at all. The U13, U14 and U15 leagues are heavily weighted to JPL A teams getting all the games.

The ffsa arent making sense.....if 18 is optimum then why go for 12 team pools in seniors and juniors? Yes a rhetorical question but if 18 is what they reckon is best you'd think that they would be opting for 10 team pools across the board. But then 18 games isn't really enough to develop and build on match fitness for future years and for overall competitiveness. Cheers geoff9559

If you look at the leagues tables from this past season, a lot of matches did not get played towards the end of the season, due to pitch issues caused by wet weather.

So realistically, if clubs couldnt play all their matches within the season, how are they going to accommodate more matches?

Until the majority of clubs have artificial pitches, clubs wont be able to cope with so many matches.

U16A

Comets
Adel City
Raiders
Pirates
Modbury Jets
Cumberland
Metro Stars
Para Hills
Campbelltown
Birkalla

Based on last year this should be an even/interesting league. Player movements over the off season may have an impact for some teams but I think overall every game will be tough.

We played 21 league games last Season without an issue.

I agree with the others on here who say 18 games is not enough. These kids start training in January/February until the season runs until end of September. That means on average they play every other week.

Maybe its time for a Summer League?

Or maybe more official 7-a-side summer competitions run by the FFSA?

Or maybe more players should look to Futsal in the off season to fine tune their skills on a smaller scale?

Is this right with the ffsa team in pool b? I was lead to believe that they were always pool a.
Why are they allowed to play over age players in the first place? They should play in the spot they earn, this year that's pool B.

FFSA U15 girls team played in the U13 JPLA last year and finished 2nd bottom. That's a team with girls two years above the age group. FFSA are making sure that doesn't happen again.

JSL is a bit later, JPL nominations are first and then they might have nominated just recently for JSL so those pools wont be known for awhile

why would you put sturt lion 2 teams and Cumberland 2 teams in the same group, surely they will play inter club trials against each other often enough. better to put 1 sturt team and 1 Cumberland team in the other group.

notice no Croydon, no White City, no west Adelaide etc.

JSL is a community league with no promotion/relegation. The structure is based on zone locations (Fulham being the exception).

Not sure what you mean promoted then relegated at the same time.

FFSA teams always go into A div, it won't be changing
