Well at least you got your forum name right because clearly you don’t know much 😉
And the other comment about we weren’t that good “back in our day”? quarter finals in the 2006 World Cup wasn’t too shabby, most of the team playing EPL compared to how many now? Yeah maybe do a little study before you reply with silly uneducated comments.
Did you just put 'Do a little study' right next to 'quarter finals in the 2006 World Cup'.Originally Posted by Yaa Yaa

Is that It?
Must have hit the nail on the head then.
Take my advice Yaa Yaa there will be plenty of time to tell your mates how many trophies your kid wins once they get to 12's
Quarters, last 16 same thing.
You get the drift, I’ll try be more specific for you Next time cobber 😉

but even then, you say winning is important at U/9 level, but here you are celebrating not winning. which is it?
but your point isnt without merit as far as that 'golden generation' is concerned. they were truly great players, but how did they get there? it always seems it was done at the club/individual level. and the shitshow that is the FFA has failed terribly since then to find the next generation and the one after that and the one after that, all of whom should be better than their predecessors.
we went from 74 to 06 with nothing to show, and although we keep qualifying are we any better now?
im happy for the governing body to overhaul a system that wasnt working. we might not agree with parts of it, but you only have to look at Germany and Japan as far as organisations that put forward big bold long term plans. both of their programs are working, heres hoping ours does too.
Come on now let’s be a little realistic, we won’t be winning the World Cup anytime soon because In Australia we don’t put football/soccer 1st, too many sports to compete with. But why are we not producing any more EPL stars since that generation? Maybe Mooy who’s not really setting the place on fire. Sad to see
I feel winning and loosing is important as kids learn to win and fail at same time, prepares them for the real world.
Opinions are like assholes I guess we all have them 👌
agree we wont be winning it anytime soon, but Japan has a 100 year plan to win everything. its an amazing undertaking, and already paying off in the womens game and their national league (which were all part of the same plan).
i think everyone in this discussion agrees that winning and losing is an important part of life, but im happy for NNSW to not make it the 'focus' of the program in those early years.
as for no EPL stars, totally agree, but dont forget we have Daniel Arzani who according to many is the greatest player in the history of football. lets hope the SAP program unearths 1000 little Arzanis every year to take the footballing world by storm.
now excuse me while i smoke some more of this crack..........
There's not as much incentive to be the best anymore because you can make a very comfortable living in the A-League. In the past there was no grey area - you either made it as a player overseas or you played part time in Australia and worked 9 to 5 to pay your bills.
Yes to your questions. It is only a proposal at the moment because more teams and players and not enough grounds.
How can kids have fun as you like to pretend but have 2 coaches barking orders. ridiculous. Just let them play and theyll work it out.
For the new system how about teams play 1 team for 30 mins at half time the teams swap.

Wrong again. Ribbons for 1st 2nd 3rd. Champion sports people get a trophy.
yep
Spot on
You better put that Crack through a sifter so you dont get any crap in it.
Well said, the next lot of NPL parents look like they'll be as amped up as the current lot. Calm down and enjoy watching your kids play and don't forget, coaches and TD's from all clubs talk amongst themselves. Over zealous parents are our favourite subject and if you carry on like a perpetual dick, we won't hesitate move your kid on. We'll just find another one.
Exactly, and totally agree.
It’s because most of them are trying to live through their kids.
I see it happen all the time and like I said previously, unless you think you can do a better job and step up then sit down and shut up.
I don’t think I’ve seen many kids that play SAP at the moment have fathers that made it as footballers, so unless you are Robbie Middleby who’s son plays SAP locally zip it because you have done f&$k all in the game just like me, hence why I don’t go criticising my sons coach, or the opposing coach.
You’re a spectator and there’s a reason why you’re behind the fence.
On that note it’s the last weekend of SAP and I for one am glad the break is coming, what will some of you obsessed dads do now in the off season without having a coach or club to bag because your poor son lost to a better team? Oh wait the kids are probably signed up for cricket or touch footy which I’m sure you can gossip about 🤦*♂️

I've been at the Jaffas v Magic games this year and didn't even notice this incident.
And to be fair, RH tells his own teams coaches not to coach from the sidelines. He ran a trial game between Olympic and Jaffas a couple of weeks ago where he banished all the coaches from the sidelines so the kids could step up and make their own decisions (good or bad) and talk between themselves on the field to organise themselves.
It was a big ask for 8-10 year olds but I think it is way more beneficial than having coaches on both sides of the field (which 1 of the magic teams has done both times we played them) barking out instructions constantly to the boys on the field.
I want my son to enjoy his football, to be well coached and for him to show continued improvement in his game.
Luckily all 3 of the above were achieved this year. Both Jaffas 9's coaches seem like great blokes who have a good rapport with the kids.
My biggest concern before he started in SAP was that it may be too much football and that he would lose his enjoyment. The opposite ended up occuring as all he cares about is football. He's either kicking the ball around the house or outside, playing with his match attax cards, playing FIFA on PS, watching games or highlights or asking me constant questions about who the top 5 midfielders are in the world, etc, etc.
It drives the wife mad but I am happy to support him doing something he loves. If he loses his love for the game I'd let him stop playing or go play another sport in a heart beat.
My criticisms of this program are not to do with coaching, results, etc but more to do with poor planning and preparation from Northern. The draws were very late before the season and at the half way point. There are pointless weekends off the cater for other programs, a lack of oversight at speers point and not having the balls to step up and come up with a clear direction for consistent approaches to the program by the clubs. Too many decisions are left for individual clubs to determine themselves which results in clubs having balanced teams, A & B teams, 1 or 2 teams and not providing proper game leaders, etc, etc.
I also haven't witnessed any poor parent behavior throughout this whole first season, the only real issues I have seen at all have been by coaches/managers criticizing the game leaders.
I thought this was going to be an issue - but with the Jets Youth moving to Hunter Sports High I wonder if the LMRFF will have more ground availability to support the increased number of teams.
I agree with this for my son also. My boy has loved every minute of SAP and has had great coaching throughout. His coaches genuinely care about the kids development and seem good blokes as well. My impressions of all the coaches across the board is that every single one of them are doing their best, which I have no doubt the vast majority of parents appreciate.

I think this is fair enough as well. Apart from some of the recent stuff, my take on this forum is that most of the posts are around peoples observations on SAP and ways for NNSWF to improve. I see no issue if people see something they don't like about how NNSWF run SAP and air it, as long as its constructive. I think most people on here take that approach, and the majority will try and offer up some type of solution or ideas to improve things. Some are good, some less so, but ultimately I just think it shows people care and want this thing to work.
Did Matt Ridenton make the top 5??
