The concept of the Emerging Jets is sound, however, many factors have led to it falling short of it's goals. Firstly the quality of coaching, apart from a few exceptions, is poor. This along with some constant changing of coaches for some teams has hampered their development.
Added to this is some questionable player selections, although that will always be a debatable and hard to get right.
Another problem is parental involment. The competition to promote one child ahead of their teammates is far worse with the EJ's.
Perhaps some of the money used to pay salaries of administrators, starting from the top, could be better used on quality coaching.
Nah they don't want quality coaches...they want "YES men" who can recite the curriculum. You call your LB a LB instead of your number 5, shows you can't coach apparently. There's a couple there who can coach but how about recruiting some coaches who've proven themselves results wise and player management wise and who have an idea what to do in situations not covered in the "curriculum"............End rant..............
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
So are the Olympic Youth awesome or did Jaffas recruit their Youth from last years Southy's teams?
I suppose we will find out the answer to that in the upcoming weeks !!!!!
One things seems certain, Olympic 15's despite having lost last seasons striker to EJ's seem to have plenty of gaol scoring ability !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This sort of comment on a kids forum is childish to say the least, besides, gunners were quite happy to hang on to there kids and develope them over time, unlike some
Rumors are that the Youth NPL is a very low club priority at Jaffas.
Jaffas and Southy to surprise us all and be competitive despite the weekends results. You heard it here first.
This is exactly my point.
No disrespect meant to Southy FR but their lower age NPL teams were not up to sufficient standard last year which was no good for the NPL, Southy or the players involved.
If the club is developing these players then that is fantastic and I hope to see better results this year - from all reports the trials to date have been positive.
I am aware that Southy have also recruited some Youth players this year from other clubs which will help them be competitive.
This is what the Youth NPL should be about - player development. Go Southy!
My issue is with Jaffas.
If they can spend a fortune recruiting big name players such as Bridges then surely their Youth Development should be easy to promote.
What Junior wouldn't want to play at a club with such big names?
If Jaffas have invested just a little into their Youth coaching and development then they should have the best Youth teams running around.
For such a successful and cashed up senior club their Youth NPL results last year were underwhelming and the trial results seem to indicate nothing has changed.
Hope I am wrong - these are just trials after all - but the Jaffas Youth should be targeting top 4 in each age group if they are serious about player development.
from the outside it appears that Jaffa's pay NPL Youth lip service.
It seems as though their strategy is win 1st grade and the youth will be lining up to play here.................well they won 1st grade 2014 and it appears that not many kids lined up to play
Maybe a rethink is required if they really want to develop youth.................or just keep paying big bucks for 1st graders and keep winning.............seems to work
Did i notice a fair few of these kids you were / are developing playing for Mr Baker at Valo 19s fr ???
Only the ring ins from scum coasties
Bit harsh,Coasties will do!
Didn't know the three Valo boys who returned to their previous club (may be more) were coastie scum....
I coached Rep football for 10 years on the Coast & in that time we had many Newcastle boys & girls play for us.They saw it as an opportunity to play at a higher level than was available to them at home.They were always made welcome & they always fitted in,never did I hear a complaint about them taking a local players spot.I had a son play under Jim Foley when he brought 8 boys to our side,not a problem.Please don't criticise people looking for opportunity in Newy,they won't get it with the Mariners,that's a given!
Settle down it was only a joke
Seems to be the go now, i know years ago Lake Macquarie and Azzuri took on the two Macquarie rep sides, while Olympic and Magic took on the two Newcastle rep sides, shock horror it was them four in the semis, with Lakes eventually winning it. If you dont look outside your junior square and get the rep players early its hard to compete. Iknow Kahibah has done it this year, where they have taken on the whole of the open team from Central Coast ISF links with Andre Gumprecht obviously involved to play U19 Newfm.
Coasties get called scum in every other thread on this forum ffs.
You lot wanna talk about NPL Youth tactics, and club transfers, player movements and top 4 like they are adults, they can cop the banter as well.
And these kids were told to play for kahibah or they will be refused game time at the school, gunners had 3 kids who left because of this threat
yep, I too know of kids who go to the IFS school that were told to play at kahibah and subsequently with drew from NPL youth comp. But i do know of one who didn't and stayed at his NPL club, nice to see some parents standing up for their kids, but time will tell how it effects his time at the school.
