Yeah thanks Jim - it is a big commitment. And tough week-in week-out when progress is slow.
On the EOI - I think there is a (growing?) expectation amongst parents that fork out for SAP fees that their child is a) in a system that values them, b) has a coach with some/any certification, and c) plays in a side that is halfway competitive - so NLFC are setting processes in place to ensure this happens year-on-year. Good stuff methinks.
Good on ya champ!
Does NL ask coaches to have a minimum level coaching ticket for SAP? Our club requires only the Skill Training Certificate. We would of course love to have C Licensed coaches but it is such a big commitment both time and financially that I don't ever see it happening.
We are not one of the bigger clubs, so interested to know what other clubs require of their coaches?

For the Q above somewhere.... 2021 Premier 12s will move to 65m x 55m (half field) rather than the previous box to box size field.
i agree chopping and changing the u/12s this year is a bit much but im totally in favour of keeping SAP on the small field right through from 9-12. Too much open field too soon is poison for kids and coaches.if they can play their way out on the smaller field it will translate onto the larger space easier than adding another 50m to chase longballs all day.
Was told that their is a NNSW memo out. Havent seen it.
They mentioned that there maybe a few weeks of fast 5s component at start of year for all SAP 9-12.
Wait for confirmation though.
are Jaffas running 2 teams in 10 and 11 next year? they have enough talent over there dont they?are they sticking with one 12's for next year.a few kids tell me they've been approached to trial not sure if there would be any spots available if they are sticking with the one team?
