Elite players??Originally Posted by Why Blue
Make no mistake about it Speers Point will be the new training facility for the Jets paid for by NNSW and NSW State Governments.
Now that is great work by the club to get that to happen
Elite players??

My understanding is that the new facility will be used for W League Jets, Emerging Jets and Macquarie Football only. Not Jets ...........and nor it should.
I also understand that schools that have previously used grounds at Macquarie have been told to look elsewhere............which is wrong, I thought NNSWF were administering the development of football for ALL in their area.
There will be of course the commercial entity Football 5's that will be running a business out of the govt funded complex..............let me check who owns that ?????
Aye MT, agree
You know MT.................you are correct...............100%
Facilities are for the most part crap.............clubs with good facilities call off youth to save for seniors
Double Points...well that is just a farce.
Funding..........well you saw my idea..........maybe NNSWF should actually be assisting clubs................
But biggest problem is EJ program...............comical tragedy is probably best description I have heard.............
Results at Nationals for both 13 & 14's this year were terrible. Some with in the 14's actually believed they had a chance at winning.............but could not win a game, scoring 2 goals in 6 games. Thank god their late call up keeper got keeper of the tournament, results might have been worse.
Squads named for 2015 are very average at best. I think most people who spend time around NPL comp know that stronger players exist outside the EJ program
I believe that EJ squads have all now resumed training on a 4 night/ 3 night a week roster, 7 sessions a fortnight in oct .............but the stupid side to this is no GVE, no Taylor Reagan, U/15 squad had to be coached by a dad...........ffs, but who is to blame, NNSWF or the parents who keep lining up and paying big $$$ for what ????? but they do it no questions asked. U/14 squad might be exception.......with Craig Deans coaching them they will progress.
But why ever no one questions or is game to speak up for fear of hurting their childs chances nothing will change...............
Could not agree more MT, you are 100% spot-on!
$1030 I heard for EJ girls fees, not sure if this includes travell to Sydney, probably not. Ayyone know what the EJ boys fees are ?
look out MT.............done got everyone agreeing with ya.......................must be talkin sense
Just curious MT................. what would be your answer to rectifying some of the issues you raise.......
Not having a go............just curious, you seem to be there or there abouts with what is happening, you must have some thoughtsa on how to improve ???
Dont pick kids that shouldnt be there in the first place, look at U16 from last year, alot of them got in because of who they knew, now theyve been dropped, it was almost as if to get them in for a year to fill a void. One year in the NNSW/Jets system doesnt make them Jets, when theres a wealth of kids who have played NNSW from U11 up but now dont get picked or would rather play NPL.
Seriously how many are going to be Jets LOL ?. But hey its a wonderful title and it is right up there with Elite, Development and Academy as a license to print money.
It really is becoming a rort, when it is the best players up against the best players and not the best payers up against the best payers then i will come around to the concept.
Macquarie development squads had around 80 kids in the 10s & 11s couple years ago each paying $500 and on top that buy yr own jacket, shorts, socks. Only thing got given is screen printed T-shirt. Coaching was one guy per 11 kids, no bang for buck at all. Dunno if if it's changed now.
I wouldn't group Newcastle Football with Macquarie or the Jets, my experience with NF has been good, professional, caring, good coaching. NF won State titles in boys both age groups and girls 12, came second in girls 14s. Kids are coached to play football move forward, not pass back n forth to keeper and play out from goalkicks EVERY SINGLE TIME.
cant seem to get a match on this $1800 MT. Parents have been told min $1050. but have been warned about the need for a sink fund to cover costs of maintaining Speers Point Supa Facility. So possible bigger $$$$$
Now that some clubs are posting teams on thier web sites and most of us have an idea of how trials etc went. What are your thoughts on 2015 NPL Youth season.
Can comment on U/15's and it seems that clubs tried harder this year. In general it seems clubs will be stronger, Lakes getting distributed and Maitland coming in helped here.
Any thoughts or comments out there ???
Love these grand statements, will pull this up next year and see how your predictions went!
I will take the bait and bite - put Adamstown down for top 4 in 13s and 14s. 17s will be close again. The 15s will be a big improvement over last year.
Well the Buds 17s finished equal on points with the CCB's and both games between them were draws. Didn't CCB finish 5th ?
I hope so, in fact I hope all teams improve, isn't that the aim.Love these grand statements, will pull this up next year and see how your predictions went!

but lets see, 13's well should go ok, took a whole team from Macquarie Development and a coach, but did you take the right ones ?????? me thinks not
14's did well as 13's so should continue
15's poor performance in 14's, but have added 2x ex Emerging Jets and few other changes, should be better
17's, well 15's were terrible this year so dont know what they can add to an average 17's squad, hopefully they recruited well and will be stronger.
so crystal balling semi's for 14's only......rest mid packs
Weston looking strong in most grades.
good............
what happened in 15's..........lost kids to Maitland after being picked.............shame
jeeeezzzzeeeee its happened again..........................think i have to agree with you MT
13's will be hard, I know Magic, CCB, Buds worked hard to get strong teams.........FMNC will be strong yes
14's ok but watch FMNC again
15's yep but EJ's will edge out Edgy..........haha
17's again close...maybe FMNC what about Weston............had strong 15's
bit of crystal balling
