Jets, Mariners youth and Sydney NPL1 clubs crack on earlier than that and train much more than local NPL. Are you saying all those players will stop playing by seniors? I don’t see it. The game has moved on.
I’m just saying it was a long season and kids need to do something like go surfing for a good couple of months before they get back to the grindQuote:

Mate. It’s not an order, just my opinion. If you want to get straight back into then fill your bootsQuote:

Yes ours have told the boys they will be back in a few weeks then a break for Christmas, back in mid Jan then trials all Feb, comp starts in March.My son cant wait he loves all aspects of the experience both good and bad.If he ever thought of it as a grind id drag him anyway and find him a level that made him happy.Quote:

Whispers of emerging Jets 9-12s starting next year in a 1 night p/w training only format. Not sure how this might sit next to NNSWs TSP format.
See what happens.
Hearing the same, open trials to be selected for the program.Quote:

So how or when do they train with their clubs?Quote:

Need to make the program sustainable before it collapses and let northern wear the cost of running the pre NPL development program.TSP / JETS 9-12s same same?
Will be interested as to what the cost will end up being since TSP has been a $100 a term plus uniform if you want to buy it with northern claiming it runs in the negative as well.
I suspect its tongue in cheek.Quote:

In Sydney it means you have to be competitive to play even if you are the only one in your age group there's opportunity for a keeper to push you out if you aren't continually pushing to be better.Quote:

GK’s play half games each. Was always a bit of a sore point travelling so far for half a gameQuote:

that also is incredibly difficult, especially semi's and grand final days, overuse injuries do happen, especially after two games and extra time, pick up an injury in the first game and you don't have a registered goalkeeper as anyone outside their age group needs to be registered to play in that age come semis and grand finals. Its not an easy balance and you can't always get it right.Quote:

I guess if you look at it as a trial it does seem excessive, but as a pre-season training opportunity id say its just about on par with every other clinics on offer and if the jets draw on some of the coaches they currently have involved the kids should gain plenty from it.Quote:

Seems reasonable to me if you look at it against other various kids pursuits like dancing, music lessons, etc.Quote:

100% agree with this. I am amazed at the positivity around it.Quote:
