Maybe you should speak with some of the parents that he has burnt along the way as well kids that have left the game because of it.[/quote] With all due respect, why would I do that? Diego was the only one that saw something a bit extra in my boy and developed it. He provided us with an opportunity ...

Speak to Diego Pellegrini, hes a tough coach but knows how to develop players phone 0434 053 971 I have googled his name very experienced player however not sure as he has been banned few times from coaching. Speaking with some of my colleagues from work and mentioned that he goes off his handle ...

STIC, Skillaroos & NTC aren't the only place talented players can be found. I know of 4 kids that have trialled and moved overseas in the last 2 years and they didn't progress through the FFSA programs. Parents and young players should do some research into possible alternate pathways before ...

Again! Cornuto WHO ??????????

Seriously? Why are we congratulating one player? The lads arnt playing tennis mate, it's a team sport. Why not congratulate the lad that passed the ball perfectly? Why not good luck to the lad that scored the first goal for SA? Seriously what a stupid comment to type especially when the coaches ...

Cumberland United acknowledges the results of all their junior teams in the competitive age groups, it seems others don't. The strength of our JSL teams provides player movement opportunities between age group teams which we recognise and encourage. Nothing like coming up against a Cumby JSL team ...

I have nothing but praise for our Nothern coach. All the boys were given equal opportunity and instructed before the game on what he would like to see. No coaching during the game just letting the boys execute what he wanted. Kudos to all that volunteer for the good of the players and the game. For ...

Or kids just playing because they love playing for their club and with their mates ? Even if a kid loves playing for a club and with their mates it doesn't mean anything. There's a certain young boy that had been at a club for 4 years and was aiming to play for the seniors one day who was deemed ...

U/13 JPL
Cumberland 0 v Western Strikers 1

U13 JPL - Enfield 2 v Western Strikers 4

Took my lad down to see this game. Brilliant stuff. Movement off the ball, control, possesion retention all great to watch.

It was also good for him to see how his coaches play.

My tips are: U12 Cup Adelaide City v Raiders Western Strikers v Adelaide Blue Eagles U13 Cup WT Birkalla v Western Strikers Cumberland United v Campbelltown City U14 Cup Para Hills v Croydon Kings Campbelltown City v Adelaide City U15 Cup Adelaide Blue Eagles v Metro Stars Croydon Kings v WT ...

[quote Is it alright to condone what Raiders tactic was in the second half? The deliberate tripping to deny an opportunity for Enfield to score on goal, I didn't see a yellow card to Enfield for their tactical play, at least they had respect.[/quote][/quote] You need to watch a bit closer. Even the ...

Shouldn't this be standard practice???
Playing out from the back and keeping possession, anything else is just giving the opposition a 50/50 chance of the ball.

What a coincidence, we'll be there too. Lol

U/12 JPL
Raiders 7 - Salisbury 2

U/12 Raiders JPL (8) v Adel. City JSL (0)
City team only have 2 weeks training under their belt so a little rusty.

Atractive play from Raiders at times. Nice to watch the ball being played around.

Parents need to talk to the coach and if that coach is honest they should give you an answer. Yes your child is in my thoughts as a 1st team player, however holding that spot is up to him/her. No your child is not in my thoughts as a 1st team player, however it's up to him/her if they want to push ...

Are we saying that this years u/11 SAP kids have been identified and therefore are a walk up to next years STIC trials. Or are all kids starting as equals with impartial nominations from coaches? I've seen improvements in some of the non SAP players that deserve at least a trial. If they're good ...

Especially with some of the larger big pitches around the place 11v11 on a 3 quarter sized pitch would be my preference for 12's and maybe even the 13's.[/quote]

My lad's a slow grower so I can see him lost on the big pitch next year.

Don't recognise the other coaches. One looks as though he could play in the NYL, he's only just older than higher age group.

The intensity level I expected isn't there yet. I assume they will pick up the pace a bit in the next couple of weeks. My sons' u/11 club training is a bit more full on than this ATM. I've watched the older age groups and it's a little bit more full on. As I said though, not what I expected. The ...

What talk, and who's the one doing the talking??

Most parent refs I've come across don't have a huge amount of experience but try to be fair (myself included). There are obviously a couple of exceptions to that rule. I personally make sure there are a number of encouragements and warnings before I will blow the whistle. After all they are only u ...
