There's always one or two spots left even if most are taken from players they retained and some new ones coming inQuote:

Would be better to tie a futsal comp onto the NPL, run it on the synthetic. 5 v 5 maybe split into two teams. not in the death cages though as it encourages poor first touch just smashing it off the sides and injuring each other. run it as a preseason and a tournament comp or something. Theres literally no FFA sanctioned futsal in NNSW - yet there's a state / national selection and competitions over the start of the year that northern have no participation in.Quote:

Definitely not the be all and end all of a footballers life but it never hurts to play in front of national coaches and A league TD’s plus it’s a fun week of football against other elite kids from all over the country.Quote:

They turned down wanting to attend the selection camps? Could be a number of reasons for that including cost, lack of interest, on holiday during the first one etc.Quote:

Yep - good way to make some more money though. And the number of kids being selected in this team and TSP in general from outside northern nsw (ie influx of kids from the central coast) is pushing local kids out - that's without getting started on what happens with the far north coast.Quote:

Adamstown Lake Mac & Weston on the other hand are terrible and how do they improve their position?
They need to be proactive and go after local talent at other clubs. Sad part is there is no desire for local kid’s wanting to stay loyal.Quote:

That is a major problem.Quote:

The "biggest" youth clubs now are those that grew out of late 80s or 90s bar Edgie.
u13s Adamstown Rosebud FC 13 0 0 13 4 99 -95. checkout goal difference. geez
Worry less about the position and more about the football being played.Quote:

Have you asked about where any of the Edgeworth 16's are now after winning 3 youth grand finals as they came through? I've heard not many if any of them are still at Edgeworth playing senior football.
Yr just rambling. Play nice soccer & lose every week = lose all yr best kids.Quote:

Youre on the Snooze macquarie train iirc. Can tell you that many players are not up to standard. Forget trying to defend this. Although the top teams may also not go to much higher it makes those below look awful.Quote:

This has to be the 16s since that was the only top of the table clash between Magic and Edgy. And while I agree with you the standard that both those teams are capable of wasn't shown Saturday. Both teams were far from their best, not fair to base the quality off one gameQuote:

Jaffas 13s tanked against Olympic. Decent game, Jaffas clocked off at some points and werent strong enough.
Heard this 9v9 comp is starting soon anyone seen a finalised fixture list?
Reference was made to Youth grade strength not what happens after or what football style played.Quote:
