[QUOTE=Dontknowmuch;232***]i wouldn't be putting my kid through this SAP program just to muck around and enjoy it , way to expensive for that!!
my son has been in this system for a couple of years now and he quite likes the disciplined side of things, he gets a lot more enjoyment developing and being part of a group of kids that want to learn and become better footballers.
his community team was all about having fun and all that , but that was for the kids who don't see them selves going further. and believe me a lot of them did like not losing week in week out .. ( that's not fun)
Who knows, maybe the attitude of not seeking victory and excellence is what encourages mediocrity in today’s society?
I don’t personally follow the win at all costs mantra but I definitely think we’re kidding ourselves if we don’t think the kids understand the concept of winning and losing even when scores are not kept. Jr and his mates would know the exact score of every game even in U6 Mini-Roos and they were happy or upset depending on that.
What I completely disagree with though is the result over development ethos. All the players should continually taught the right skill set and be encouraged to utilise it in games. There is no point teaching the boys about ball control, beating a player 1v1, touch and pass, etc if then you get to a game and throw a big fast kid up front and then kick long all game.
im still staggered that people dont seem to understand that of course everyone wants to win the games, but that winning the games by playing good football and using the skills you are taught in training is the whole damn point of the program.
if teams/players/coaches/parents just want to win games at any cost then SAP probably isnt for them. SAP isnt the be all and end all. there are other pathways, and kids will succeed via programs other than SAP.
Well i watched the 10's this year and saw both the 9's in between.
This is the same kid that also played in goals, left & right mid like the rest of the players? So he scored some goals big deal. They played a decent passing game as well.
Sounds like you have a problem and need some therapy. Grow up and get over it.

cant say i spent too much time watching Jaffas 9's but their 10's are really good. good bunch of kids and coaches and they have always played football from day 1.
was really disappointed that they went to 1 team next year as they had a really good bunch of kids. have heard a few of them have got spots (some in really good teams). Good on them. as a parent id hate to see my kid left without a team through no real fault of their own.
Chill Jimbo. I ain’t picking on jaffas, I saw lots of teams last year and all had the same. Magic long balled to quick kids up front, Maitland long balled to big kids, Valo direct as well. Edgy tried to play but when playing big teams the long ball come out. Teams wanna win so go direct vs better teams. I saw jaffas more than any other team and they did it most. 🤷*♂️
You’re a deadset clown and have no idea what you’re talking about.
90% of Magic’s SAP kids have come from the juniors so stop talking shit.
I know my son has been there with the same teammates since under 6/7s with a couple added this year.
Why does everyone put magic down? Because they are successful I’m guessing.
Our coach informed us that all the kids will be retained for SAP and only need to add 4 players for next years 11s and I know the 10s kept their boys also and were more than happy with kids they had.
I just don’t get this agenda against magic and I’m glad I took my son there to play.
