2015 NPL Youth

[late_to_the_game]

I think 1st grade will be ok for a while. NPL youth starting to show dividends

Agree with you WB. The technical standard of players is improving without a doubt. Next years crop of U17s are perhaps the leading edge, having been in the NPL system for 2 years. The following year will see the initial U14's moving into 17s (and possibly 19s) after 3 years, they will really push things along.

The difference is that they have "better" (on paper) coaches.

"on paper"....good reference....see these blokes get out coached on a weekly basis....but I suppose they can flog on about the curriculum like no other.

I'm not a comedian jim, just wondering who was being touted as relegation likely so early on!

Sorry hamburger man not looking to offend CCB people but logically with Southey gone CCB are now bottom, so logically that puts them in dangerous territory
I have nothing against CCB, just the way I see it
Personally I think relegation of youth is just plain stupid

Not offended, with squads not finalised and the season months away, I think predicting relegation favourites is risky. Yes they are some more likely than others, but we have all seen Magic just escape relegation in the last couple of rounds of 2014, no-one would have tipped that at the start of the year.

And agreed on the youth relegation comment - it is stupid.

And BTW I have nothing to do with any club, and have no connection to CCB, I don't care if they get relegated or not!

Has anyone else heard for rumours that there was only 6 or 7 players trial at Magic 15's on the weekend?? Apparently players don't want to play under Jimmy Cresna?

I had heard that, not sure if true though.

[football_macigian23]

I was told 7 players for Magic 15's were at Valo tonight trialing so could be true

Following the curriculum and teaching their players that and only that is what they are told to do or face reprimand.

E.Jets do not always get coached to play the curriculum. I personally witnessed two coaches this year instruct the keeper to go route 1 with a ball kicked over half way for the speedy 9 to run onto. Happened several times in both games. Not saying I mind that, but pretty sure that's not part of the curriculum

[Why Blue]

Didn't know Cresner had moved on.....knew he had a massive blow up with one EJ coach over a non selection issue with this years U14 NNSWF national champs team

Maybe EJ coaching is improving !!!!!!!
