    A recent discussion I was part of centred around the idea of NNSWF providing a pathway from community football to JDL and/or YPL.

    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...

    Really?
    If I'd been in this situation I might have struggled not to laugh! I'm guessing they don't use bibs at training?

    Sorry 'cheese, was a question rather than a statement. My assumption is they *have* solved it.

    I did not see a change in football behaviour at all, there were definitely slide tackles. Definitely no burns - admittedly a small sample size (<50 games) - in our players.
