    That's a huge step up from the reported 15 kids they had turn up to their first trial last year.

    Jaffas reportedly had 50 or so kids at their trials last week as well.

    Is SAP becoming more well know, being advertised better by the clubs or something else leading more kids to try out?
    My perception is that clubs are advertising it much, much better. I've noticed a real upturn in information from some clubs on it. I suspect a few clubs were caught on the hop last year and advertised their trials too late (or, actually followed the NNSWF requirements on when they could trial, where others didn't) and don't want to be in that position again. It makes sense that u9s trial as soon as the community season ends. You've got to catch the kids while they are still in football mode.

    I think Maitland have been very on the ball. I know they (and other local Maitland community clubs) have been doing some development squad stuff with Graham Law (Cooks Hill coach) who lives in the area. I've no doubt everyone attending these and the clinics Graham runs have been kept in the loop on SAP, and I'm sure Maitland were already aware of the more talented kids in their area. This, plus 70 kids at the trials, means that Maitland could be strong in the 9s next year.

    That's awesome.
    Well in everyone at the club.

    NNSW have the email contact of the family of every kid playing in NNSW in their database. They should be able to send a targeted email to every 2019 u8 kid advising them of every SAP trial date etc. Shouldn't be hard to do. There would still be a lot that know little or nothing about SAP. I've raised this with them and they nod and have not used the data they have. If they can't do something like this to assist the clubs and kids, then they are failing.

    Agree, 100%. There is no reason they can’t do this. I wonder if clubs have approached them about it? I know they post trials on the website when asked, but you’d imagine targeted emails would gather far more interest in trials and further people’s knowledge about SAP.

    its a real bummer that Jaffas have cut back to one squad for U/11's next year.
    Just hope those kids that didnt make it get out and trial for other clubs, because all of them are good enough to make a squad somewhere.

    Yup, assuming they don’t get any new players that’s 5 boys from those teams that will get cut.

    They have 2 strong squads. It’ll be a tough call deciding who won’t make it.

    decision has already been made and kids have been told apparently. As heartless as it sounds its prob not a bad time to tell them so they can book in for trials at other clubs.

    Yep. I coach at community level & I only just heard about SAP. Now I find this chat room all about it!

    We hear a bit about NET but not SAP. These pages are helpful!

    Especially when they could have had 2 competitive teams. Where did the rumour of all 11's SAP go to one team come from?

    can safely say ive been told about 400 different things over the past few weeks all by people who 'know'.
    turns out Jaffas might be the 'only' club with one squad next year.
    again, hopefully those kids get a run somewhere else because they are more than good enough.

    The TAFE Summer Football venues have been announced, and it appears that - locally - only Adamstown, Mayfield, Maitland and Tilligerry are running competitions for the 8-11 years groups. Most of these comps are 6 v 6, with Adamstown being 7 v 7. Adamstown was mentioned by Yaa Yaa as the one a few SAP clubs entered last year.

    The Adamstown comp is on a Thursday night.

    This was definitely a thing. Earlier in the season it was said with certainty that most clubs would go to one team at 11s, but it appears a lot of the clubs have had a late change of heart. I wondered whether NNSWF have pushed for two teams as this ultimately gives them them a bigger pool of players being well schooled, or whether it is a club-led decision?

    Jaffas have definitely come out and said it was a club decision to drop down to a single U/11's team.

    I'd love to know who or how many in the club wanted it, because I've spoken to a few that def wanted 2 teams.

    I can't be sure about any discussions that occurred leading up to the decision. Only that the communication to the parents was that it was a decision ultimately made by the clubs Technical Director, not the SAP Technical Director.

    So RH made the call? Once again trying to throw his weight around thinking he knows what’s best for the kids but actually just looking at what’s best for his wallet. I heard that the kids cut may have been some kids getting extra TSP coaching and RH is against that. I’ve heard him say a certain kid isn’t good enough for his program because he’s in that tsp program and it’s taught him bad habits... clearly the kid can play but ok RH
