This is one of the most delusional things I've read on here and that's saying something!!
Why are you so bitter your child wasn't good enough?
I'd suggest if your child is playing in the NSW NPL competition, for CCM and they didn't make the Metro Teams it's because they aren't good enough. They had plenty of chances to demonstrate their ability, TSP Games and 20 or more competition games. Add to that if the TD or Coach thought your son/daughter was good enough CCM would put them forward. Each player has to register separately for the NYC, through the Football Australia portal. In the past NNSW have sent multiple teams this year they made a smart decision and combined the teams. The 16s looks a very good team. The 16's Jets won the League, are you proposing that players in the sub standard Local competition are better?
I hold no bitterness; my kids have already passed their youth phase. What concerns me is observing the hardworking and dedicated individuals at NNSW, who consistently uphold fairness and integrity, now grappling with issues arising from some of their peers' associations with the Jets Academy.
Let?s be honest if NNSW didn?t select players that are involved with the Jets it wouldn?t be a very competitive team.
Last year in a TSP tournament on the girls side the Jets sent a team and NNSW sent a team. Jets walked it undefeated conceding no goals, NNSW struggled.
The Nationals is about selecting the best team possible ( which is always a matter of opinion) and the majority of the players in the Jets come out of our local teams so have every right to be selected for the team.
On the flip side though the Jets team performed worse than Northerns team in the boys 15s last year.
Don't think it really matters but the rules probably say where the club is located rather than where they play. Jets kids get to be selected for Northern because the Jets are based within Northern. Mariners kids who live in Northern's borders don't get to be selected because their club is in NSW borders. Same with kids who live in far north NSW but play in Queensland, their clubs are based in Queensland so only eligible to play for Queensland

Is there a place we can look at the selection rules, see the wording and make more informed input?
Selection rules?
Are you people serious?
Best players get picked, the FA wants the best players there.
Wow
Clearly there are selection rules. Would be the age, would be where they played. Football NT couldn't go and pick someone who had played in Melbourne all year. Northern either can't (a selection rule) or don't want to (a self imposed selection rule) pick better players that live in Newcastle but play for CCM or WSW of which there are a few.
Calm down Gary
I wish Gary would put in real coaches not just dodgy mates. btw the 50 passes around the backs era is over. move on already
They seem to be going pretty well at the NYC.
Spoke to soon. Neither team have progressed out of group stage.
Both teams lost just one game.
16's 4 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw
15's 3 wins, 1 loss, 2 draws
Missed out on semi's by 1 or 2 points.
A good showing. For mine, I don?t expect a regional NSW team to make the top four teams in a national comp.
Undoubtedly, it looks as though the 16's especially did well. Beating Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland and drawing with NSW.
If Football Australia is conducting an investigation into any coach of any A-League Academy, that is absolutely none of my business.
Why, we use to consistently finish top four or higher
My comment seems random but there is some substance to it. I was throwing it out like a fisherman on Nobbys breakwall and hoping someone would bite but nobody has.
The Jets? We know the TD left recently and he enjoyed spitting venom at kids and kicking buckets in their face. Wouldn?t be a surprise that a parent would take it further.
Was that in the old days? When the best states had 1 team?
Context lad...
