Transition from youth to senior... A lot of clubs lack a programme to move the junior players to seniors. In Dunedin Green Island/Mosgiel have very big junior clubs but struggle to transition the juniors to seniors. Caversham technically have no junior club.
If these clubs could build the success they have with the junior programme to the seniors they would do well.
The Onslow document would be very helpfull to theses clubs.
For me the transition from junior to senior level at Mosgiel was weird as the only way I got in to it was one of the guys i used to play with was in the 3rds team and told me to turn up and then i recruited some of my mates from there. The better players would probably be better looked after but there didn't seem to be something in place to help that transition, like you say, and i think it's still the same. Maybe some of our guys do go to other clubs as well not sure, and then you get people like me who move cities too.
Would it be fair to say Kings would be a sort of youth system for Cavvy?
