Highly recommend all 3, all for very different reasons.

There are at least 4 u12's playing up permanently in Valo u13's NPL from what I have seen, only 2 kids have played up from the u12's JDL squad that I know if.

With the announcement today of youth decoupling, is there a realistic chance of a league with a combination of NL1/ZPL teams? Or will NL1 clubs choose to drop to ZPL regardless?

What are the...

Northern NSW Football is excited to announce the decoupling of its youth football from senior football along with the launch of a new youth competition structure for boys.
...

To be fair the vast majority of this years Valo 13's came from their JDL. Recent seasons have seen somewhat of an exodus of players from their JDL ranks (local kids are now playing at Edgy, Olympic,...

On the flip side, it makes me more likely to attend with a family of 5.

Isn't it 2 years ?

It will enforce some accountability that some are not willing to face.

Remaining Fixtures:

Azzurrri - 33 pts - Magic (A) / Valo (H) / Jaffas (A)
Maitland - 30pts - Lakes (H) / Magic (A) / Olympic (A) / Edgy (H) / Jaffas (A)
Magic - 29pts - Valo (LMRFF) / Azzurri...

Congrats and well done to new Lambton - My main concern is that there is a big concentration of clubs in a small geographical location.

Are there enough players in the Greater Newcastle region to...

How many are even realistic options unless they remove the junior club requirements?

Decoupling was rumoured to be pushed back a year a few weeks ago due to club feedback.

Senior / Youth decoupling

It won’t affect the proposal as it included a caveat around potential promoted team.

Bottom 6 NPL teams would go to youth league 2 with just the top 2 NL1 youth teams at season mid point.
However...

Depends on the club, in my young lads U12 squad only 3 of the boys who started in Under 9's have been there for 4 years.

:roflz:

Agreed, I've been enjoying this years games.
I'll watch Jaffas and Valo tonight with an expectation that either team could win.

It is in my opinion a much more balanced age group than others around it.

Weston have been excellent in the last month or two keeping Edgy and Magic scoreless. One Cooks hill and one New Lambton...

I was talking about next years 13’s

It would be nice to see players stay at clubs with more consistency but there are no real regulations or controls in place to limit it.
At the end of the day club Youth TD’s are judged on their...

Good to see Rosebuds get a couple of wins.
Great weekend of football for Maitland against Edgy too.

Yup. Greens were a level above all game. Magic offered a little on the break but not much else. Thought Magics 11 was excellent + goalie obviously.

Maybe not a Marta, but definitely Sam Kerr, Ellie Carpenter, etc…….

He was excellent considering the circumstances.

With the 23's and 20's, only Sydney FC are currently in 1st Grade. WSW and the Mariners are both in League 1. Under the restructure mentioned above both those teams should end up in 1st grade based...
