😂 stop it they are 9yr old kids who don’t keep score. If they are fighting over bibs they deserve to be kicked outQuote:

I had to go google who had been around longer, turns out it's Weston FC by some margin.
Yes that was the issue,The away team felt they deserved to wear the colour despite the rule.To be clear this a different story to the one involving Weston.I was just giving an example of how silly people get about this stuff.This was 3 years ago and it sounds like things havent changed much.Quote:

Yeah I think we're barking up the wrong tree; sapdad was sharing an anecdote from another situation.Quote:

They travel down here every week, not unreasonable to expect someone to go up there once a year provided they made the games in the arvo.Quote:

I'm sure they've made a mistake since both grounds are called Johnson/Johnston.

I seen a bit of SAP this season & all these new lambton parents need to pull there head in. They have there navy teams which are good but there gold team in each age ain’t no better than the Southy and Cookers.
People crying about the split comp but from what I seen it looks right.
If new lambton kids think they too good then they know what they should do..........
I watched an U10's JDL match on the weekend and noticed that the coach of one of the teams was giving specific instructions to his players to crowd the opposing keeper on corners.
Personally I'm not a fan of this at this age and don't think it really helps with the development phase. But I'm interested to hear others opinions.
Change my mind.
After a few rounds this season i would love to hear peoples opinions on the below topics.
Firstly i think there is a lack of knowledge across some coaches and coaching staff in regards to the drop off zones, Free kicks. Is this something for each club to assure there teams and coaching staff understand the rules of JDL correctly? or do you beleive each club take there own opinion of these rules and play it how they like?
Topics:
1) Players moving up a age group? yes or no? if so how does your club run this? E.g. under 9s player playing or training under 10s
2) Drop off zone? does your club police this and how is it run?
3) the knowledge that there is no direct freekicks?
4) positional rotation? (for some kids i have found clearly have no interest or drive to play certain roles and to me looks to bring down a team in regards to there overall developing during game situations)
Theres really no need for it, as a parent of a goalkeeper who now is out of that phase, the response in a tactical sense (for a much older age group) is to put your defenders between the attacking players and the keeper, then hold or push off your own players if you need to, but for a bunch of ten year olds? there's so many other important things to be learning there's plenty of time for that **** later on. I bet a corner like that and the ball either went flying over or didn't make it onto the pitch, or they missed it completely anyway because they were too busy trying to do the stuff the coach was telling them to do.Quote:

If a player is good enough and needs to go up to be challenged and improve then they should be. No different to Youth or Senior FootballQuote:

Silly ideaQuote:

They should be given time in different positions, they are 8-12 years old, they don't have a position they only play and will play where the coach tells them to play. Some parents have no idea and claim their kid is only a 9, yet when he is in U10s you can't claim that he is only a 9 and only played 9 his entire life.Quote:
4) positional rotation? (for some kids i have found clearly have no interest or drive to play certain roles and to me looks to bring down a team in regards to there overall developing during game situations)
Some kids will be more naturally suited to certain areas of the park, no big deal giving them more game time there but they should be rotated into different positions not only for their benefit but also for the benefit of other players to experience and learn in that position. Their young kids, the whole point is about learning move them around.
Im fine with kids playing up.Its been clear at ages 11 and 12 that the gap between the biggest and smallest kids is pretty large anyway so as long as they can physically handle it then why not.Plenty of JDL 12 kids playing NPL 13's too and from all reports the good ones are handling it just fine.There might be a time soon when those kids will stay back for the extra year of development but hopefully coaches/parents make decisions based on the best interests of the kids and they will be fine.
1) If a child has the development required and can physically handle it I've got no problem with it; the only wrinkle I see is if that player pushes out an appropriate aged player that then misses out on further development. I guess this is a per-player decision the club would have to considerQuote:

That being said, I have on occasion told my kids to drop off whenever the keeper has the ball.
3) There are direct free kicks in U11 and U12. But you're right in U9/U10 there are only indirect.
4) U9 last year we rotated through positions in a very rigid, prescriptive way. You got 40 minutes of game time and it was all played in the one position. Next game we rotated so you played the position next to the last one, again for 40 minutes that game. With 3 subs this was possible and reasonably easy. It was obvious when players didn't want to be in certain positions and it was obvious when they were coping or not in each position.
U10 this year and we are stilling rotating where appropriate. I have 5 subs, which makes it more difficult to balance game time and keep the kids in one position long enough so you can see how they are coping/developing. I have mentioned to the parents that game time in one game will be uneven, but hope to balance out game time over 3 or 4 games.
I'll add a 5) Goalkeepers must throw/roll the ball out, or play the ball from the ground with their feet. They can't kick or drop-kick the ball directly from their hands.
Here is the rule from the NNSW JDL rules sheet.Quote:

5.6. GOALKEEPERS
The goalkeeper is allowed to handle the ball anywhere in the penalty area.
To restart play after a save or gathering the ball with their hands, the ball must be thrown or rolled
from the hands or played from the ground with their feet, within 6 seconds.
The goalkeeper is not allowed to kick or drop kick the ball directly from their hands. Opponents must
be at least 10 metres outside the penalty area and cannot move inside the penalty area until the ball
is in play. The ball is in play once it moves out of the penalty area or when the goalkeeper places the
ball on the ground.
1) It is all dependent on the individual.
I have seen a couple of boys around the clubs that have had their development affected negatively by taking the step up.
On the flipside, I think there are lots of kids throughout all the age groups that should take a step up based on physical size & ability. If a kid is doing it pretty easy based on being bigger, faster and stronger they risk relying on their physicality rather than ability. If other kids physically catch up over the years then they may not have developed an ability to cope with it.
2) 100% enforce it as per the instructions from club coaches, etc. If the kids encroach past the drop off line before an attacking player apart from the keeper has a touch then a free kick should be given and the reason why explained to the kids on the pitch.
3) Direct Free kicks are awarded in 11's and 12's only.
4) Kids should never be locked into a single position in JDL/SAP. Nobody can practice all of the 4 core development areas in games by playing sole in a single area on the field all the time.
Yeah doesn't help when they change it though coaches should be reading the rules. Last year they were allowed to kick out of their feet, good to see with the banning of that rule they also said players must drop off 10mQuote:

Not applicable when goalkeeper receives ball in general play.
In general play the defending players are to retreat outside the penalty area and can move forward once the ball has been put on the ground or rolled to an attacking player.
On goal kicks the defending players are to retreat to the drop off line and can move forward once an attacking player has taken a touch.
Yep that is 5.4Quote:

I don't understand this bit though
"If the ball hits any part of the net behind the goalkeeper off a shot, keeper save or deflection, the ball automatically goes to the goalkeeper for a restart;"
Surely it is either a goal or corner kick if off a keeper save.
The above is in relation to Phase 1 and the small sided games onlyQuote:

Plenty of time to fill in for the age up in NPL Youth.
If a player isn't being challenged enough then they should 100% train with the squad who will. This for the boys train up and for the girls train with the appropriate aged boys. This is my reason, if a player is very good at 1v1 in their age group and goes past others in their team with ease, if you let them stay there they will get into bad habits by only performing this action to 80% of their ability, if they train against other players who a more of a challenge they have to perform the same action against someone who will make them have to be at their 100% best to have success.Quote:

So being about a parents ego just goes to show how ill informed you are, how little you actually know about the game and I’m sorry for having a shot at your ego but the conversation isn’t about superstars it’s about placing kids right for their development. As you say you see players playing up that fit in, isn’t that what it’s about having plays fit in to their level so they can continue to improve their alround skills at the appropriate level ??
Kids choose to play JDL over community because they want a higher level and get selected.Kids move clubs within JDL because they want a higher level and get selected.Kids play up ages because they want a higher level and get selected.Ive yet to see any kids playing up who havent deserved a go and who are doing it for their parents gratification thats for sure.
If they are playing up and a superstar than they should be pushed up againQuote:
