State Coaches and Trials

[batumgoesthedynamite]

Have the coaches been chosen?

Have trial dates been set for respective age groups?

[Tottenham Hotspur]

The last I know was that they had started to advise people if they had been successful in getting a coaching gig, but that was about 2 weeks ago.
You would imagine that by now they would have things organized...... but apparently not

[What the?]

SAWSA havent even sorted out the start of the season??????


What makes you think that they have picked coaches or if they have even set the trial dates yet......

Come on they can only do 1 thing at a time.......

[SAD GAL]

Oi enough of the sarcasm. If you haven't got anything constructive to say then don't say it on this forum. Maybe you should go and help sawsa to get the seaosn sorted out. (gals, was this a good attempt at trying to be positive and only say nice things and have a go at people with a point of view that may not be in line with yours???)

[Dr.D]

Think you've missed the mark on this one SG. Nice try though

[gubs]

I dont see the sarcasm there

[Dr.D]

I couldn't either

I was told a similar thing when I asked about it a couple of weeks ago, and that trials would most like likely be starting in early April.
It seems to be fairly common knowledge who the U17s coach is (TJ - or so I'm told anyway), but I havent heard anything else.

Anyone interested will just have to keep watching the SAWSA web site to see when things are going to happen - but I hope it's soon to give the teams plenty of time to prepare.

Well, does anyone have any update on U14 & U15 State coaches and trials?

U17 trials are over, and we are already into second week in April.
By my estimation that probably means the earliest that these state teams will be selected and start training will probably be early May (very late April at best) - doesn't leave the coaches long to get the squads working together does it?

I'm not having a dig at SAWSA or anyone in particular, just want to see the girls and the coaches get the best chance possible to perform at their best when they go to their respective national comps.

Straight from the SAWSA website
I would assume that it would take place at SAWSA Park, opposite Annesley College on Greenhill Rd but it doesnt actually say that on the website.

Never heard of Richard Preston.

Does anyone know anything about him.

Just thought some people would like some back ground on him.

[pvfc]

Hows that for timing - must have gone up on SAWSA website just after I had looked there!!
(and no Mrs T, I haven't heard of Richard Preston.)

[The GREEN & GOLD]

richard preston was an extremely talented player in the local leagues with White city and i believe Modbury and played at top level for over a decade. Had a couple coaching spells at Mens levels as Cumberland, but that all i can remember. Good soccer brain.

[beaches]

Google Richard Preston and no he was not the 5th Beatle.

[Unretired]

Thanks for that Green and Gold and beaches.

Just wanted to know for the girls involved.

[United]

Richard Preston was a skilful central striker for West Adelaide many moons ago.

[adam]

great coach...

[BIG RED]

[quote="United"]Richard Preston was a skilful central striker for West Adelaide many moons ago.[/quote]

If its who I think it is he was a very fast skillful striker who also had a stint at Eliz Vale? And I see him at AU games occassionally

[adelaidepie]

If he is the player I am thinking of He Richard played national league with both City and West Adelaide. Again if my old brain works well he had stints at Modbury and Para Hills as well. Maybe at Hills when he was an up and coming (like most kids) start at Para then leve.

Not saying that just because he played national league he will be a good coach but again if old brian working he did coach at cumby and they can say whether good or bad.
