2016 NPL Youth
No parents allowed
Intelligence level of thread clearly set
What's the point ........obviously parents aren't allowed to comment on thier children
No parents ..........close it down now.....communist reds ...........
Just their general lack of knowledge peas me off, piss in me pocket know it alls, just like you
Early tips?? ? ?
Probs just need to stick to this being a NPL youth thread...not a disgruntled parents of kids who haven't made it to EJ system and have a chip on their shoulder thread.
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
CCB never, previous jnr club 4 years
But don't see relevance in how this gives someone's comments more or less authority ??
In my opinion FR was/is a typical senior club official who detested giving time/facilities to youth and he certainly isn't on his own !!!
And then blamed exuberant parents !!!
Disagree. Southy as a club have always respected and given chances to young players.
Their U19s team before all of this NPL YOuth stuff, was comprised of mostly 15/16/17 year olds which is something not many clubs were doing. Despite this, they only missed out once or twice on semi finals football over 10 years.
And look at their first grade squad, very young squad. To say they don't like Youth is ridiculous.
FR's posts in the early days were spruiking that the focus should be on development and players progressing through the teams and eventually into seniors. He/she was saying that there is far too much emphasis on winning and win at all costs attitude is not necessarily the best environment for development. Which I agree in some respects is accurate.
Southys poor results in NPL Youth can be attributed to their location and club profile imo.
Many kids coming through interdistrict competition don't even know South cardiff is a club separate to cardiff. The first time I played southy I rocked up at cardiff. Didn't even know they existed, let alone had senior teams in NPL/NBN back then.
So those players playing in the local area would be more inclined to join the popular clubs of olympic, magic, valentine, Lake Macquarie and even edgeworth and charlestown have more drawing power. For me that's the issue more than anything.
But, id like to know why you claim he detested youth and giving them time?
You're basing an awful lot on comments made on this site in response to some clearly delusional posters. Yeh, there are some very intelligent and thoughtful posts made here regarding structure and aims of this competition but there's also a load of dickwaving and disgruntled people bringing everyone down.
every club has 15,16,17 year olds playing 19's
again, your wrong
Southy's poor result blamed on location???????
That is officially the best 2016 statement i have heard, maybe Southy should move
Not talking about now.
The statement was that they didn't care about Youth.
How many Juniors did Azzurri FC have when they were relegated? 0. Big fat 0. Thats why they were relegated. They merged with the junior club to meet the criteria and paid Jim Foley to bring a team together. Props to CCB though, they went from nothing and have some pretty handy teams. But saying Southy didn't care about Youth, is ridiculous.
Same with Lakes. 0 junior teams and they were relegated.
There are definitely clubs that treat their Youth teams worse than Southy. Over the years Southy invites the Youth teams to senior training, and to complete warmups with players.
But I'm curious. What evidence is there that they don't care about Youth?
Understand your sentiment ......but wrong no chip
My beef with EJ program is simple.... Whilst ever NNSWF take money from any registration fee the program should not exist.......you can't spend under 6 fees on select few
So it should be free and a training squad only........easy
A lot is blamed on disgruntled parents, especially by other parents who have befriended or manipulated their way into the inner sanctums of the coaching/selection panels.
Disgruntled parents are the symptoms and not the cause of the problems that so readily exist in both club and EJ programs.
Let the coaches coach, but at least find some that have a reasonable idea about what they are doing.
