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

League one youth GF's are at LMRFF Saturday the 8th.
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...
Oh absolutely, I agree.
However it was more directed to the fact that Tamworth aren't in the JDL, and we're playing West Wallsend.
I'm sure they've made a mistake since both grounds are called...
Yeah I think we're barking up the wrong tree; sapdad was sharing an anecdote from another situation.
Unless someone has more hard evidence we're stuck wondering why two (or more) U10 JDL coaches...
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?
I had to go google who had been around longer, turns out it's Weston FC by...
Thanks Kitz - that is the way it was explained to me as well.
In the case that if it was coaches involved - in most cases the coach is also a parent - what would the process be?
I know in our...
This whole page.. I just ... no words, I can't even.
Well maybe, some words; Almost every coach I have had contact with in the JDL system has genuinely cared for their team, and most care for...
(non facebooker) Can I assume that this is a post written by someone to NNSWF? And can I also assume from your comment that their is little to no new information to be revealed?
As a side note,...
At NLFC in U10s we're quasi-A and B teams - This is to allow the better players to push each other at training; and we have regular games against the other U10 side to give them a challenge, and most...
NLFC Under 10 Navy v Toronto Awaba
I assumed the smaller field was just for U09s and they hadn't changed it, is that not the case? TBH it didn't make that much difference, there was still enough...
Well our first game is done and dusted. Won't mention the score, but will mention that the teams were mismatched.
Not fun, nor beneficial, for the losing side, not very good for the winning sides...
Thanks sideline
Hey Aegon - I'm one of the 3 people in the world without a facebook account - can you possibly post the summary?
From what I can see both NLFC U10 boys teams are in the same "pool" - and like you...
Sorry 'cheese, was a question rather than a statement. My assumption is they *have* solved it.
My guess is that they are using the more modern synthetic which doesn't cause the same issues. I...
Interesting report from WA
"The use of a softer polyethylene based fibre and the ability of the surface to take a normal stud has resulted in it becoming an acceptable surface for sports such as...
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.
To be fair, Spain gets pretty hot, and it didn't seem to me that it was particularly a problem. And grounds in Australia already using synthetic seem to have solved for this?
I don't know enough to...
I agree, surely synthetic is the future.
After being fortunate to travel to Portugal/Spain in 2019 where I witnessed almost 100% synthetic pitches, then seeing games played at Cromer Park on almost...
Arrived at 1230 for 1 & 140pm games and they'd called off the previous game. And within minutes learnt both our games also canned. Just devastating for kids who have already lost so much football in...
We're going in very cold. Weather has meant lots of washouts and when we did manage to train it was in long grass. Not conducive to getting ready for synthetic.
Our 11s teams are playing with (at...
Agreed.
I don't have the answers to how to solve for grading either.
I'm not privvy to whether we were asked to or not - but we have graded the 9s and 10s into A and B. This is for player...
My question for NNSWF is how they would grade teams who are NOT splitting their two teams; IE. Clubs that are mixing and matching each week?
As I mention in my other post, the skills training certificate should just be the beginning - although I'm sure it's not this for everyone
Agreed Aegon.
I'd add however that there needs to be a balance; it's undeniably hard for clubs to find volunteers for any job, let alone one as taxing and time consuming as coaching a JDL team....
