Couple of pertinent points I think
Are 280 members necessary ??
Is it selling false hope to many ??
Does it have a scouting network that has tabs on all promising young players ??
Good read, hope it sparks some comment
Especially like the reference to the fancy track suit, so very true
How many of them have the C licence though? I know quite a few of the Valentine and Adamstown coaches did their C licence at the end of last year.Quote:

I liked the talk about the pay, end of the day parents shouldn't expect equal game time even if they have payed the same. But then who does pay? Certainly shouldn't be the parents of kids not in the program.
Good article on a touchy subjectQuote:

Facts are
It is a user pay system and with that comes inherent flaws
When EJ' play teams outside if area their performance is very underwhelming
Most importantly to kids not in the program for what ever reason is don't give up, what everybody needs to realise is that at 9,10, thru to 15-16-17 you haven't proved or done anything
Have a look at what Maitland are doing.
Links to the local rag. Why didn't we think about this in Newcastle. Well done to Northern and CCB for allowing it happen.

Lots of discussion about state of woman's football but really from what I heard it was a very young Matilda's as well
Still great effort from the 16-18 yo jets, would have been a great experience for them
How's your team going early ???
Struggling but not giving up.
As for the 16 to 18 year old EJets, I was led to believe they were under 16 boys along with 4 under 15s. The Matildas side may not have been the starting XI in a world cup final, but still our International Women's team. I'm sure our under 16 boys could have been stronger but for 2 at the AIS and no doubt some out injured. Throw in a debate as to whether or not the best boys have been selected, as well as their underachievments at National competitions, and it doesn't paint a great picture for the Women's game.
But good on the young boys for performing as they did.
Your probably right
I know a few camelback from 18's to play but they are only 16
Azzuri v Valo rescheduled round 12 playing Saturday June 18 at Lisle Carr, same game times.
I watched the first half of the U17 Adamstown vs Magic game yesterday. Adamstown led 1-0 at HT, game ended 1-1.
It was one of the best games of football i have seen in a while, and for me was a great vindication of the whole NPL youth concept. It is now the 3rd year of NPL
for these boys, and the level of skill and tactical awareness impressed me. I have seen many first grade games not played at this level. The movement off the ball by both teams was fantastic.
Both teams played possesssion football, both counter attacked with real speed when they could, but built the attack well when needed.
Congrats to both teams and the coaches.
Also noted Adamstown 1st grade coach Graham Law helping out on the bench with the 17's coach.
The game could have been won by either team.
Good result for Newcastle Football from NNSW 11&12 championships this long weekend
Winning both age groups for the 2nd year running
Like Hartly or not he is getting impressive results
Maybe Newcastle football is the elite centre for youth development in this area ????
Now watch all the mums and dads sell their kids to the highest bidder in NPL
