At the same time the Nix Academy has gone from strength to strength. Is a very clear pathway from academy teams to the first team and pro football if you are good enough. Excellent facilities at NZCIS. They also now have their own accommodation facilities for out of town kids, and sound pastoral care it seems. Increased chance of making NZ age group teams, with guys like Greenacre working between both?
If you are a talented footballer, and not sure why you & your parents would now choose Ole ahead of Weenix, if you had the opportunity to go to either.
One advantage of Ole is it still may have good connections to various US Colleges, for those who want to try that route. But has that diminished now that American (and very keen fly fisherman) Sippola has left to live in Wanaka?
