Lakes under 16s girls development squad are looking for a goalkeeper - train 3 nights a week in the new year (2 nights at the moment) in with the 15s and 17s NPL squads often, opportunity likely to play NPL if required as injury replacement but would be aiming for NPL the season after (u17s or 15s if u14 this year), have had trial games already against under 17s NPL squad and will likely have girls move into the 17s NPL squad as some 17s have already gone into ressies team. Will play div A inter district but likely at least one or two ages up (u17 / u18, or women's depending on how the competition forms). We do have some under 14s (13yo this year) in the team, so open to younger girls who are interested in developing and at the right skill level. The girls are registered as part of the NPL senior club - not part of the junior club.
there is a trial against SD raiders as our last game before the Christmas break on the 15th. My daughter is 13 and in this squad and has just come across after spending almost a month at the mariners trialling - missed out due to preference to take a local in the younger age groups, so there are some handy players in the squad. The fees are on par with other NPL clubs and they have at least one night a week guaranteed at Speers.
Happy to answer any reasonable questions - but I'm not going to turn this into a debate, there's lots of girls that want to play football now and limited opportunities for them. there is an opportunity here for a goalkeeper that may have missed out with the gap in age groups in WNPL.
Please don't turn this into a 50 page rant about development squads and NPL, just if you know someone who might be keen comment or send me a PM and I'll send your details to the club.
I do hope this has come from the parent and not what the club is telling people.Originally Posted by KITZ

Why are u worried about it being a rant, nobody has even commented yet. Is it because you don't believe it yourself whatever it is you are trying to sell??
If you believe it even when others don't just put it out there and stand by it.

Im a parent, my kid is registered at the club, Ive been on the committee a couple of times I've had both my kids at the club one before they rebranded and one now.
I've been to the girls training, I've watched them play. I've been involved in this level of football for a decade and involved with the girls since my daughter was probably around 8 and she's come through both JDL and WNPL. I know the coaching staff and the club and I know they are making a decent effort in this space and I can compare that to the previous club my daughter and some of her club mates were at, where the girls were not treated so well.
I want to see the girls grow and I think while NNSW and the resources might not be there to do all the age groups to 17s at the moment this is a decent way to help bridge the 2 year gap in age groups.
Can I ask how the girls are allowed to play NPLW and also community. They are run by 2 different federations.
I would have thought if registered for community you wouldn’t be able to dual register in NPLW.
They can't. They would need to deregister from one and register for the other. Which is why I hope this isn't the club telling potential players that they will be used in WPL as an injury replacement.
That is what I thought. Seems silly to be saying that they could play as an injury replacement potentially as well.
Is it true the development sides playing community are paying the same as the NPLW sides?
Alot of money for a community comp.
$1,700 I believe not sure if the same but it is a lot. Understand there is additional training and games, but the difference between registration, competition and referee fees are significantly lower than the WPL teams. Charge your club amounts the same (equipment, field hire, uniforms, coaching) and just reduce the fees by the difference that the club has to pay to Macquarie Football compared to Northern.
Magic signed girls as injury replacements not much out from the start of the season from community last season, of course you move from one squad to the other - Jesus its common sense its not a one week injury replacement but we had girls out for months last year and replacements were needed. again I was pretty clear that this wasn't a discussion on fees, or anything else. It was purely an EOI. The disclaimer was obviously needed because people still can't read. I know how it works and I KNOW clubs are doing it. If you aren't interested just move on.

You haven't been able to do that in years, but in the ZL1 & ZL2 comps who have the "conference league aka 3rd grade" there was mention of Kahibah and Dudley being able to take players up to NPL2 even though they are 2 different entities, not sure if they can come back down after going up. If this is the case maybe there has been a deal done on this.
I sure someone will give us the most correct scenario on this..
Correct scenario is you can't be dual registered, you will need to deregister from one team and register for the other team. Had this scenario with a player on my boy's team last year, playing PYL, wanted to register for his old interdistrict team at the same club, was told by Northern you can't be registered for both at once and will need to choose.
As for discussions on WPL clubs, last I checked this is a forum and a thread on WPL so discussion is the whole point. If someone just wants to make an announcement looking for players than the Club Announcements thread at the top of the page is where it goes. If someone doesn't want to engage in the discussion of exorbitant fees and mistruths spread by clubs than don't engage in it.
The Dual rego for the conference league in ZL is a different scenario as they are cutting the third grade.
They are allowing players to play down if returning from injury or play up when required. They have created this to assist the transition to less sides in the ZL competition.
Is a great idea for them. Just not something that can be done in the PYL boys and girls comp or the top NPL.
pardon my ignorance but is the above written down somewhere as a rule and what less sides???
This will cause more issues than the comp needs, lines will be blurred, how do you determine injuries etc, can of worms opening up, i think.
should move this to another thread though..
I believe it was discussed at a ZL meeting. May need to ask one of the ZL clubs for the truth in it all that was present in the meeting discussing the Conference league.
I am going off what has been advised to me after a discussion with someone in the comp.
Yeh was discussed and agreed upon at meeting. I may be ignorant but unsure what issues it would cause, unless of course you were a club that couldn't field the 3rd team.
OMG. I posted here because people here are interested in women's football.
The literal last few posts have nothing to do with women's football - none of you are even interested in WOMENS football.
In my original post I wrote that our team is likely to lose girls BEFORE THE SEASON EVEN STARTS as girls from 17s have been promoted to reserves. so YES there is opportunity in other age groups as players are promoted or leave or are injured.
I never said the girls would be dual registered. they would be promoted. Just like they do in the mens, just like they do when they need injury replacements. Just like happens everywhere else everyday of the week.
Stop making up things that aren't happening - I never said girls would be dual registered NOT ONCE.
Seriously.... end of story. All you lot are interested in is talking about yourselves, and making up drama. If you were a lot less a bunch of gossips then maybe football in Newcastle would be in a better place. It certainly isn't helping the girls competition. There's no conspiracy other than the one that's made up in your heads.
I have been told that Dudley will be allowed a few players who are registered to conference league that can be drawn to reserve grade in NL1 if short. This is only for 1 year and only because the federation refused them an u18 next year. I?m guessing they will nominate the player at the start of the year
You could probably do it if the other club was a football NSW one...so registrations didn't conflict but what a pain to travel to Wollongong and to Coffs Harbour on a weekend :P
Well done to Lakes and Valentine getting Gold for their JDL status.
Would be interesting to see how Adamstown justify charging over $2,000 for JDL. The only club in both boys and girls to do so bar Central Coast United.
