Zico wouldn't know his head from his arse half the time judging by half the shit he comes out with:sparring:

The price has come down recently - they are trying to make it more available, as well as running regional courses split in parts to make it easier to do.
I did a central course run over two straight weeks.
There is no need to have played at a high level, it just means you probably don't need the coaching experience part. They may have changed the entrance requirements since I did it. Best to call the FFA directly and ask.
If you had not coached at all, and turned up to the course I did, you would have struggled big time.
So I took note of the number of views for this thread before posting the NNSW stuff. There have been 431 views in 12 hours.
I get a little frustrated that NNSW does not make this information more easily available.
Even allowing for MFKS, ForeverRed and Zico checking on each others insults, that is a lot of people keen to find out what is going on.....
or a lot of search engine bots
I'm not saying you're wrong but don't read too much into it
Cheers for the updates answered a lot of questions I had.In regards to the coaching certs surely they're not gunna shaft a successful coach over the years just because he doesnt have a C or B licence.Some people will struggle for the time off and also the coin if clubs dont help them out.I can point you in the direction of 2 or 3 coaches in newy and scum land with an A licence who have absolutely no idea of the game
The interesting thing is that there are a lot of aspects to coaching - so Rado Vidosic is probably the best assistant coach in the country, but not a good head coach - different skills required.
I also overheard a conversation about Ron Smith (AIS Head coach for quite a while). They described him as the best "technical coach" they had ever seen, but tanked when in charge of Perth Glory. I heard him lecture at a coaching conference a couple of years ago, and he is really impressive.
Melbourne Heart FC Head Coach John Aloisi and newly appointed assistant Hayden Foxe have lavished praise on former AIS Head Coach Ron Smith after he was recently confirmed as the Club’s Technical Advisor.
Smith arrives at Heart boasting unrivalled experience in the coaching realm, having played an instrumental role in the development of Australian football’s golden generation.
Aloisi and Foxe are among the litany of Australian football luminaries to have learned their trade under Smith at the Australian Institute of Sport, which include the likes of Mark Viduka, Lucas Neill, Craig Moore, Ned Zelic and Josip Skoko.
Seldom would it not be imperative of these clubs employing these coaches to fund their coaching certificates to be up to scratch?? Any self respecting club should be making sure adequate funding is going into making sure their coaching staff are qualified enough to do the job?? Considering the NBN clubs are paying their players the least they should be doing is funding their coaches.
Over a few years the pool will continue to grow as more and more get the certificates.
I am sure if I read that correct the costs of these courses were gonna be subsidised too by the NNSW Fed as well
As for the levels below that the need for the higher end certs wouldn't be as high and will be picked up in time
A question, I was told this week that a team relegated from the NBN has to wait 3 years before they can be promoted again. Is this true?
Found no mention of this in the recent NPL information.
Is this the start of the clubs actually standing up for themselves against the FFA? http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/27803...pl-crisis.aspx
Comparing apples and oranges here Zico.
You'll find most of the Clubs in Victoria are actually upset because FFV lack of consultation and the proposed changes are not in line with the NCC. Northern's directive follows the guidelines set by the NCC apart from the 22's The NCC recommended a 20's. This is old news by the way Melbourne Knights and Green Gully lead the withdrawals of applications over a month ago now South Melbourne and Northcote have pulled the pin its gathered momentem.
Apples and Oranges no comparison as to what's happening in NNSW
So the rumours are that there will be a 12 team comp, but for the "Juniors" (13,14,15,17s) of the NPL only.
So Valentine will stay in this (junior) comp, add Adamstown and a set of teams from Mid North Coast.
The Valo "seniors" 19, 23, 1sts will be in NewFM.
If VPFC stay in the comp then the Fed are a bunch of ****wits. How can you have promotion/relegation but move the goal posts every week?
They have a shithouse set up for a home ground, **** all supporters and a piss weak playing roster that do nothing to promote the massive junior base they have at their mercy. **** them off and add Adamstown and Maitland.
Rumour I heard today is that VPFC will move from Cahill Oval to Southern Beaches rugby fields in Mount Hutton from next season.
Depends how much rugby gets played on it during the season.

Lotto ticket anyone?
Would u have Zpl be 23s & Resies or 19s & 23s?
Why wouldn't you have three 12 team ZL comps, with the rest making up a 7-8 team comp? Why is it a good idea to have 12 teams in NBN but not ZL?
I think a 10 team ZPL would be a greater quility comp rather then stretching the talent pool for a 12 team comp. I also read on here a few clubs a struggling with multiple players out injured 4 extra games would only see that number rise.
theres not enough talent for a 12 team competition, that was clearly shown last time it was 12
I understand that Southern Beaches will move from Cahill Oval to Alan Davis Fields Gateshead. LMCC are reportedly chipping in $2m to upgrade the facility. New drainage, reticulation turf, lights - $600K and the balance on facilities over the 4 fields.
It will cater for rugby, cricket and aussie no rules.
Southern beaches don't play rugby at Holford Oval, but I think Central play junior league there. Southern Beaches left there for a reason.
Surely, with that amount of whippy being thrown around, Cahill or another ground ( CB Complex, Marks Point or Blacksmiths?) could be upgraded if VPFC got a cut.
I'm hearing more and more that NNSWF are strongly considering a 12 team State League and then down to ZPL. Could be just shit being spread around the football circles but it appears to be building strength.
FFA Launches Inaugural NPL 2013 Finals Series
http://m.footballaustralia.com.au/ne...s-series/72678
By the looks of this next years premier will play Queenslands premier in the 1st round of next years final series.
I think the NPL 1st round 2014 will be
1- Qld V NNSW
2- NSW V ACT
3- VIC V TAS
4- S.A V W.A
Semis
5- winner game 1 V winner game 2
6- winner game 3 V winner game 4
Final
game 5 V game 6
Host to be decided on a points system threw the NPL finals series
3 points winning in 90min
2 points winning in extra time
1 point winning on penalties
3 point per goal scored (excluding penalties)
-1 point per goal conceded (excluding penalties)
-1 point per yellow card
-3 points per red card
Will be interesting to see which Premiers get sent.
In my opinion it should be the Minor Premiers
So just found out tonight that the Junior competition in the NPL will not include Valentine. They were under the impression that they would play so that there would not be a bye round - 12 team competition. (Caused by brining in Mid North Coast).
Not sure of the reasons, maybe Mid North coast are not in, maybe there is a Central Coast group of teams, maybe some clubs didn't want the competition for players. Who knows.
Makes it difficult for them to maintain juniors in the U13-U17, and if they get back up will have to start from scratch again (Like Adamstown are doing)
I thought it made a lot of sense, it gives the relegated club a real incentive to fight hard to get back up straight away. It also meant anyone who got promoted could at least guarantee that they would have a junior program for a minimum of two years.
I've heard there is not only a push for North Coast Juniors in the NPL but also one for senior grades to join the NNSW NPL. Plenty of rumours are doing the rounds at the moment and this could easily be one of them.
Premy I wonder why nelson bay are in front of burbs wallsend and half of ZPL in "your" opinion
