Extra Trials

Post by God is an Englishman »

Have noted a lot of clubs advertising "extra trials", are a lot of clubs experiencing a lack of numbers or is their another reason?

All the trials happened basically in the same week - so I would say the clubs looking at extra trials didn't get the numbers last week to fill all the spots. Some clubs probably got very good numbers and others got lower numbers.

I know a couple of clubs that are struggling for numbers and are holding additional trials. Will be interesting to see if they ask for movement to a lower league as some clubs did this season.

Strange how some clubs struggle for numbers and others are oversubscribed. I've heard that Sturt are running 4 teams in some age groups next season and still turning some away. It must be a geographical thing.

Some clubs a struggling against Footy, cost wise there is no comparison $100-$200 for Footy vs $750-$1000 for Soccer. As much as people say it isn't a factor when choosing sport for your kids we know that it is. My kids go to school with some great little players but their parents couldn't afford the registration for soccer so they are playing footy

some families are shopping around and therefore clubs are thinking they are on the books and then they go to another club that they had also been to. So one club thinks they are sorted and the next moment they arent and now have spots to fill as the family took on what they perceive as a better 'offer'. cheers Geoff9559

Not sure how that can happen when most clubs ask for a deposit within 48 hours.

I'm aware of 4 clubs that are doing extended trials so they can fill some gaps and finalise their squads.

One club in particular may need to have extended trials until Christmas to try make up the numbers as they will struggle to even have teams from under 13s to under 16s

According to the FFSA guidelines, state league 1 clubs only need three JPL teams.

Do you mean JPL teams from 12 to 17?

Yes, three teams across the JPL age groups.
NPL clubs should have a team at each age group but we all know that didn't happen last year with Olympic.
