Hahaha you can never get sick of hearing about Liverpool 😉 he was also a Liverpool fan, I think 🤔 🤣
Hahah I don’t know this Ya Ya is but he seems to know a lot about magic as well, things I didn’t even know lol I might have to do some detective work to find out who it is. Anyway some of you know me by the sounds of it and you know I tell it like it is and have nothing to hide. I love a shit stir and some banter with the best of them but keep the banter on me and not the boys if that’s cool. They are only kids and there is some special players there for their age, I’m just lucky I have them in my team and hopefully I can help them achieve their goals with my experience of the game 👍
Which team do you coach? When my young lad played your boys at Magic park you or the coach of the other team pulled my son aside and our teams goalie and told them how well they played. They boys were really happy to be recognised like that.
Regardless I’ll come introduce myself when Jaffa’s and Magic play.
This forum is actually quite good if you can drown out some of the OTT comments.
I coach the Red team bud, and we did that often last year because I appreciate talented kids and they deserve to be praised by opposing coaches when they do well. 👍
Not this year, Northern is only getting clubs there twice this year with some compulsory session for coaches afterwards.
Probably their Technical Advisor Neil Orr until they appoint a new TD
At this age there isn't too much difference. Will be more beneficial for the girls though, make them tough for when they go into WPL. I find boys are more likely to cry at this age from getting hit than girls.
Was at Rockwell today & saw Bluebells 1st SAP games. 9s vs Wallsend close & competitive. 11s got toweled up by Edgy.
Any other games? Heard a few washed out.
Cooks Square was washed out yesterday so Maitland v Edgy in 9’s/10’s, Maitland v Olympic in 11’s & Jaffas v New Lambton in 10’s didn’t go ahead.

Both Jaffas U9 teams played at Rockwell today, one team beat Cooks hill 7-4 and the other drew with New Lambton 5-5. Not bad for a group of boys that have only played about an hour of game time with each other.

hi new to SAP been a long time forum reader.is it a good idea to posts scores?i didnt think they mattered at all.im more worried about the games i saw over the weekend where 2 teams playing side by side against apparently equal opposition were witches hats. it was seriously concerning the talent gap.if im paying the rego fees and my kids are that far behind id be talking to the club about the point of being in the program.
also i think the refereeing is going to be an issue.from games that i saw the young kids doing it were using a different set of rules to what has now been introduced.not a great look and going to cause some issues.not the young refs fault but the blokes in charge would be best served giving them the correct information before sticking them out in the middle.
The scores aren't really the focus of the program as nothing is officially recorded. However nearly every kid who played knows the exact score at the end of the game.
As long as the coaching focuses on development and not the end "result" I don't think it really matters whether scores are communicated or not.
With the disparity in teams, after round 11 NNSWF will structure the draw into a weaker and stronger draw to try and avoid these lopsided games.
On a positive note, the lopsided results tend to be more prevalent early in the 9's. As the kids develop the kids tend to balance out and the games get more competitive.
It is definitely an ongoing issue. All the game leaders in SAP are volunteers, but it looks like there are different interpretations or at least ways in which the rules are being communicated through to the people leading the games.
The main inconsistencies seems to always be around the drop off rule & offsides. Also, one of the other things I hate seeing is the game leader coaching their team on the field.
i was meaning is it a good idea for parents to be posting kids scores on the forum.im ok with however the kids process that info on gameday.the lopsided games i saw were U/11.thats what made me wonder what has been happening at some clubs for the last 3 years.
the refs i saw yesterday were young kids who looked like they were doing a refs course out at the facility.they were doing a good job but our club had sent rules around for every parent to read and the offside rule and free kick rules were interpreted differently to what the rule sheet said.there were parents on both sides wondering what was going on.no one carried on because it wasnt really affecting the result but in close games if the referee doesnt know the proper rule people are going to have an issue and it wont really be the referees fault.there was a guy there talking to the referees before during and after the game but it didnt look like he knew the rule changes either.
Ya, thats definitely weird. I've never seen game leaders be provided at the facility before and it makes sense that some of the interpretations would be different. the 9/10's SAp rules are different than the 11's rules which are different to NPL. Who knows which rule book they were working off?
I think the 11's have 3-4 super strong clubs where the 60 min games might make the scoreline very lopsided.
The 10's don't seem to be as unbalanced and it's still way too early to tell whats happening in the 9's.
I'd hope that if the game is getting too out of control that a coach would swap some player roles around like defense is now attack and vice versa.
As a result of some of the trial matches and one of our U11's results yesterday - Our TD has sent out instructions as to what to do when the score is getting out of control. It revolves around how to get something for both teams out of the rest of the game.
Based on our first half yesterday we looked in need of some of the measures- but some corrections at halftime saw us come back to level it up.
when youre flogging someone or getting flogged? Im not sure what the TD wants teams to do.because i watched a team yesterday who were putting a few away but continued to play really good football.it was great training for them and they werent trying to just run up and score.because one day soon theyll come up against a really good team and all those extra reps will do them good.
When you're the dominant team.
Whilst agreeing with you in principle, I'd argue that scoring double digit goals against an opposition that is just no longer in the contest is not great for learning outcomes (for either side).
My team learnt their lesson yesterday after going 4 down by halftime. Other teams will learn their lessons differently.
