What league will UniSA be playing in?

[Andre PM]

FFSA Juniors State League Competition

[geoff9559]

Where would home matches be played? Also any intention from UniSA seniors to enter SL2??? That would be a good drawcard as then your juniors would be playing JPL. Cheers geoff9559

[Andre PM]

That's a great incentive and I'm sure UniSA FC Seniors are moving towards that possibility.
But that's not the only draw card . Besides great facility's outdoor , indoor and sport science facilities at our home ground UniSA Magill Campus with a further anticipated development of 3 more pitches . We bring Acadeny, futsal and outdoor under one development program . With the assistance of sports student placement in areas of high performance training , physiology and human movement every team has there own Trainers . Quality instead of quantity will be the key, meaning Juniors don't support financially their first team . Only maximum 6 teams placed in the Ffsa comp .. From 9s to 16s ca78 players taken care of by 18 coaches and trainers .

[geoff9559]

That sounds quite promising. Any age groups that you really wanting to concentrate on? Also with all this support with the uni.....are you looking at offering a partnership of developing an academy similar to Liverpool and the university of woollongong with adelaide united?? Cheers geoff9559

[Andre PM]

As mentioned only 6 teams are there to be taken care of . All will be treated special !!!
Regards UniSA Academy and affiliations .
PM Professional Football is a well established Player Management company with many links National and International . We don't do Football tourism as such but rather create opportunities.

[geoff9559]

Andre... not talking football tourism am talking about Liverpool FC joining with Southern Cross University (thank you to the person who corrected me on the uni) and the academy they are jointly running through the uni and its sports development program over in Sydney the director was only recently appointed. It would be interesting if UniSA were to look at this. Only reason for bringing it up is that i was the president of the unisa sports and rec association from 1992 to 1994/5 and this was a conversation brought up many a time as to whether the uni's skills and academic resources would be used with the clubs.....sounds like you have this sorted and the next step was joining in with high profile clubs for students to work with ie adelaide united. Cheers geoff9559

[HEMICRANK]

hi Andre ...this sounds too good to be true ....can Juniors actually look forward to quality coaching with an emphasis on football without the overburden of committees, presidents , coaches with sons and then to hear that fees that will be genuinely spent on junior development ? ...are you sure that this will happen in Adelaide ?...as we have not seen this in any of the clubs that we have been part of since our son started playing club in 2009.....

[Andre PM]

Thanks for that good observation and feedback I'm getting .

[Andre PM]

What others do I can't speak for but for UniSA FC juniors we start with a clean sheet , abundance of experience and no hidden agendas. We like to think we can make every session quality and with that said use every resource UniSA provides us with to thrive for excellence . I do not believe UniSA would support mediocracy with there name printed on it.

[rossonero]

[Andre PM]

Are you playing in the Jpl or Jsl

[Andre PM]

JSL or JPL really does not matter in my humbled opinion as sadly the standard various in both leagues .. You get a good team to play at one week and bad one the next . Reason is that we still trying to build levels of equal standards . What will take still quite a few years to establish compare to manny European country's .
Important is to look out what your team (club) is doing in regards of quality training and good players around you. Youth development is developing individuals who are able to play in a team environment . When it comes to elite the last time I checked you don't scout teams . But a good team is needed to excel as a player . So my conclusion is are you looking to be in a quality team or playing against quality teams week in week out in a under achieving and mixed bag team with little or no development .
My thoughts on this is to always put coaching and development first in the early years of a young player .

[RowePark]

Are you playing in the Jpl or Jsl

seeing as Andre's response is a bit long winded. i suspect it will be JSL as they would need to enter 3 teams in state league 2 to be able to field anything in JPL.

For someone who is entering the structure for the first time I would have hoped you'd know which league you were in
If you are not entering a senior team then all your junior teams will play in the JSL league.

[Andre PM]

I do assume we starting our teams in the JSL comp from under 12s onwards . But as we all know it's Ffsa discretion to place teams . My lengthy explaination was to give you the understanding that I do know the standard very well of youth competition here in SA thru PM Academy . As we have players nearly from every youth team in Adelaide.

Andre has been around local football for a number of years previously in SA, before he moved to coaching roles overseas.

Will be interesting to see which age groups they get and also how the FFSA sort promotion/relegation

[HEMICRANK]

Good luck to the boys that signed up to play unisa regardless of whether they would play jpl or jsl....the original incentive to join the club was a focus on junior development ,improving
individuals and team play and now it gets more serious ......I imagine that many junior players(and parents ) have already reluctantly paid NEXT years fees in full at other clubs but would want to join unisa now .....so...Andre....are there any positions still available in the new club ?

[Slide Tackle]

Which age groups are do you have, any available positions?
