I think your forgetting it's only the second year of npl youth for the jaffas,most clubs have long standing youth programs and jaffas gunners maitland are trying to get to the next level it takes time, this year the jaffas have started youth development programs for 10/11/12 ages with good coaches giving I there time also goalkeeping training from first grade keeper swanie , Danny Ireland did the same last year, last year the 17 made the semi and the under 15 just missed out but beat weaton 15 who won the comp the 13 /14 played there hearts out . A new parent to the club took his son out of newcastle development because his son was scared of the man who runs it and didn't want to go to training since joining jaffas he is loving his football and can't wait to play for the jaffas we must be doing something right, and to the Olympic 15 team and coaches, club on and off the field yes you touched up the jaffas but the spirit and style of play is what the game is about and your club show that well done. The u17 npl jaffas side has 7 boys. That started in the under six for the jaffas and have been developed by the club also there are other boys this age playing for other npl clubs that started with the jaffas the club tries to be loyal.
