as for the TSP itself, dont stress if kids are missing out. from what ive seen, the kids who were in 9's last year and back playing SAP in 10's are not any further along than everyone else. from what ive seen id say 90% of the kids picked in 10's deserve to be there last year. but there are plenty of kids at their level this year. a few of them havent progressed even at SAP level let alone being even 'better than the best'.

over the net few years those kids will be replaced in the TSP or at worst another scout will identify them and offer them up another opportunity. the best kids will be seen. they will start to stand out at different times, but this SAP program is about finding them somewhere between 9-14. theres a wide scope.
Which 9s team is this? Do they train at LMRFF? My boy is at a team that doesn’t train at LMRFF and I’ve not seen any NNSWF coaches at our training sessions. Hopefully, they are out on the road as well.
