I'd suggest if your child is playing in the NSW NPL competition, for CCM and they didn't make the Metro Teams it's because they aren't good enough. They had plenty of chances to demonstrate their ability, TSP Games and 20 or more competition games. Add to that if the TD or Coach thought your son/daughter was good enough CCM would put them forward. Each player has to register separately for the NYC, through the Football Australia portal. In the past NNSW have sent multiple teams this year they made a smart decision and combined the teams. The 16s looks a very good team. The 16's Jets won the League, are you proposing that players in the sub standard Local competition are better?
I hold no bitterness; my kids have already passed their youth phase. What concerns me is observing the hardworking and dedicated individuals at NNSW, who consistently uphold fairness and integrity, now grappling with issues arising from some of their peers' associations with the Jets Academy.
Let?s be honest if NNSW didn?t select players that are involved with the Jets it wouldn?t be a very competitive team.
Last year in a TSP tournament on the girls side the Jets sent a team and NNSW sent a team. Jets walked it undefeated conceding no goals, NNSW struggled.
The Nationals is about selecting the best team possible ( which is always a matter of opinion) and the majority of the players in the Jets come out of our local teams so have every right to be selected for the team.
On the flip side though the Jets team performed worse than Northerns team in the boys 15s last year.Quote:

Same with kids who live in far north NSW but play in Queensland, their clubs are based in Queensland so only eligible to play for Queensland

Selection rules?
Are you people serious?
Best players get picked, the FA wants the best players there.
Wow
Clearly there are selection rules. Would be the age, would be where they played. Football NT couldn't go and pick someone who had played in Melbourne all year. Northern either can't (a selection rule) or don't want to (a self imposed selection rule) pick better players that live in Newcastle but play for CCM or WSW of which there are a few.

A good showing. For mine, I don?t expect a regional NSW team to make the top four teams in a national comp.Quote:

Why, we use to consistently finish top four or higherQuote:

It's this piss poor attitude that is why our NRL A League or any other national comp teams are shit and continue to be so year in year out
Time we grew a chip on our shoulder and started sticking it to the big city teams
Yup, we are shit because we don?t have a chip on our shoulder. Not because there is no investment in infrastructure. Not because we still have a jobs for the boys mentality in positions of power. Not because parents are viewed as an ATM.Quote:

What a poor advertisement for the club. The so called pinnacle club of Newcastle can't attract enough interest to run a summer comp, when it was indicated via email to all of last year's pre-academy player that selection for next year would be heavily scouted via this tournament.
They only have themselves to blame tho, no advertisement or promoting done. Except one email to last year's pre-academy players and one Facebook post, on the jets academy page. And nothing on the Jets main page. Very poor effort.
Now I have to wait post Christmas to watch some competitive games.
As you said poor advertisement.Quote:

No doubt a few U12 parents who saw players rock up to U13 trials and get selected for the U13 team that won't in the pre-academy after being told that to get into the U13 team you must be part of the pre-academy have spoken to others and they know it isn't true.
What the Jets say they do or promise to do isn?t the same as what the Jets actually do*Quote:
