I think the score matters when you are the representative team for the area and lose to CCU by double digits though... that must have raised some concerns early on!Quote:

I'd argue about being the representative team for the area. I know the best kids from the area should be in the club but they aren't some are playing for Mariners, some play local. Same with the NPL boys, there are players that are as good as the top boys in those league but don't play in the NPL.Quote:

I see CCU 15s came 6th in the comp 15 points behind 15s Jets
Nice to hear about the Jets but they are not part of the Premier Youth League
I have a question about coaching at JDL level (sorry if it's not the right topic): what is a reasonable expectation for a JDL coach in the u10-u12 range?
Is it acceptable (or accepted) for it to be "just" a parent, passionate about the game but not necessarily qualified as a football coach?
Are there any requirements in terms of qualifications (courses, certificates, etc.)
Are there any guidelines from NNSW?
Can anyone share their experiences with coaches in this age bracket?
Cheers :)
Being a parent is ok at that age but most clubs now prefer independent coaches for 13s and up.There is a basic JDL course that i think may still be required but nothing more.A lot of clubs encourage coaches at JDL level to get their C license which isnt everything but if you are inexperienced it will at least provide you with some good guidelines as well as start relationships with mentors and other coaches who you should be listening to.You absolutely need to be a good communicator.The drills and guidelines for JDL arent overly technical,but the more you explain the drills to kids and get them to understand what you are doing the more success you will have with the kids.You also need to be able to deal with a fair bit of feedback from parents.99% of them just have their kids best interests at heart,but there will be conversations that are uncomfortable and you need to be able to deal with it.Its a huge commitment from a time standpoint,and you are expected to be there for all of it.Quote:

C License is recommended/required for some clubs but isn't essential until NPL Youth.
Anyone know anything about u17 players now allowed to play u16 next year?
Adamstown had post on Facebook about it.
Curious to know why?
Only allowed if RAE, used to stop at U15Quote:

From the post it sounds like the regulations have changed because it was calling for ANY NPL and NL1 17s who didnt make an 18s squad can now play back.It didnt mention anything about exemptions,sounded like theres new rules.Quote:

Have heard they have sent an email to parents saying NNSWF revoked their youth license and will not be fielding teams this year.Quote:

Wonder how tronno will fair with their 1 grade of youth?
Not sure at all how it will affect the youth league format if Wallsend and maybe Toronto & Singo are not able to field all teams?
NL1 Youth may only have 7 teams (NIAS, Belswans, Kahibah, West Wallsend, Thornton, Southy, Cessnock) to start the season?
Why aren’t these clubs removed from the competition if they can’t run youth programs, it’s definitely not an even playing field for the other clubs
Maybe there are too many teams not enough kids to fill these teams, 12 teams in NPL that's say 20 players/team, 240 kids/age group? also take out the top 20/age who go to the jets.Quote:

Maybe NPL should be the only team with youth or apply, the rest go back to community football.
just a thought...
