There are some kids out there that are being very well trained & hopefully it shows in their future development.

I have also recently learnt of these programs that are in place.
NNSWF have the Talent Support Program via Leo Bertos for U10's (& NPL ages) & Newcastle Football via Richard Hartley are running an Advanced Group Training for U9's-U12's.
Both of these initiatives are taking selected kids from those age groups and running extra training (1 or 2 nights a week) in order to further develop the kids with most potential.
TD's & Coaches discuss to choose which players attend. There are player assessment forms offered to clubs that can be used as needed.

I guess when players miss out on these sessions feelings or egos may get hurt.
