Theres also literally nowhere in the rules where it says everyone will get equal game time in NPL. Some club handbooks are quite upfront about that. Theres a balance there about not developing players because our football time is still not where it needs to be to develop them through successfully and having an offseason training schedule to keep them fit. The older you get the less you can stop completely. I think alternative exercise like bike riding, yoga, swimming could all be used for the same effect for fitness, and if the TD worked with the committee and wanted them back earlier for one / two sessions a week then I see no problem with that either. Its not like teenagers aren't mostly sitting around playing video games anyway.Originally Posted by Eastwest
