I think its the perfect opportunity for NNSWF to overhaul their "elite" programs and look at getting back to providing development for juniors thru the NPL comp that is in place and is where the elite play and should play. Imagine if they contributed some funds to clubs to assist clubs in developing youth ??? we would have a development program for approx 180 players in every age group 13'3 thru to 17's WOW.............


But problem is they are now bogged down with the new Football Facility and it needs to be funded..............so some sort of program will need to be implemented...........Eland admits that parents of elite players will need to contribute to ongoing maintenance etc of new facility..........so NNSWF need a "program" in which they sucker parents that thier elite kids needs to be part of and pay us big $$$$ so we can maintain our elite facility...........

And yes I know girls are effected by this but they have a WPL thread to post in
Lets just hope if they are all filtered out in to the club system, they dont get prioritised over kids already selected for club sides, because, newsflash, half the kids in the club system are alot better then EJ kids. Some clubs have already put EJ kids that missed out straight in to teams, jumping above other kids, unfortunately they may have a shock coming.
