I would like to float one idea which answers your question:
Who runs Ole now.
Completely agree there should be a simple system that works. Doesn't happen in mainland. No FTC - no NTC - (no exceptions??)
So flying blind down here!
Is NTC all it's cracked up to be? How munching coaching do u get in 3 and a 1/2 days or is it all testing, that has surely already been done at ftcs. Can anyone tell me the point of NTC aside from getting your name on a last at a cost of $550 a pop!!
How munching coaching do u get
Personally on the playing up issue, I believe it should be a decision between the player, parent and club. Anything over 2 years younger should need the approval of the competition organisers and all entered teams.
Other than that is fine.
Last years champion U17 side had 2 U16's and 12 U15's.
Chronological age is almost irrelevant in assessing player development and competitive levels.
Only NTC, once again what about those not wanting to be part of FTC / NTC.
Any decision on this sort of thing by Mainland needs full discussion and approval from clubs.
The nonsense around the girls this season and the Nelson rep. decision are so off the wall and dictatorial.
Clubs should simply say NO it is not what we want.
Nah must have been hungry!!
shameless gossip
futsel trials were Sunday for Canterbury teams
$600 + flights if you get picked (one weekend away)
FTC looks cheap now

further gossip is the $ is high as none of this stuff was booked in advance. crikey.
If you work out what kids get out of FTC it's actually pretty reasonable (total price divided by sessions).
This futsal tourney always expensive..surely if they know when it is someone could organise earlier. Oh hang on this is Mainland we're talking about..

Must have 5 star hotel plus the most expensive airline tickets.
Can I do all the arrangements and keep the surplus coin.
I see that 18's and 13's are now up on the Mainland website. I can't remember from last year, but in the 18's wasn't there a school league and an club league last year? Seems they are all combined into one. I maybe wrong, not that it happens often.

Pass, but what's your point?
Remembering the question was about fair opportunity, and this is a mainland juniors thread.
Presumably you are suggesting ole kids are excluded because of mr edge.
Ole, and edge, do have a pretty good history of producing players capable of playing at a level above ASBP. As do others who don't necessarily fit a nice clean corporate box - Fallon, Rufer spring to mind.
A coach never cares where a kid is from and as leggy said a coach picks a team, not an organisation. Where a kid is learning his football trade ( and with whom) should be irrelevant when it comes to opportunity for selection.

Succinctly put and I agree 100%.
Unfortunately though as much as that should be the case, apparently not in New Zealand. Maybe it should be A Real Coach------
Currently in Canterbury you have to attend FTC although that may change as The Christchurch Academy comes on stream. Clearly sanctioned by the Board and CEO and intending to work at ages covered by FTC.

Whats to say other places are not like this?

Yer I think school teams are having a big effect this year. Definitely the boys in those age groups I know and all the transfers on the clearances page. Sooner we get rid of them the better I reckon.
5 schools with sides in 14th Grade?

Cash High - Hillmorton - Linwood.
The impact on other clubs is ridiculous. Just as ridiculous is the situation where FC2011 can not field an A stream 10th grade.
Suddenly though Uni. can with the help and support from Mainland.
Club killer, clubs should look at pulling out of all grades where school teams have been allowed to enter imo.
Actually 10 school sides in 14th Grade (Div 2 - 4)
6 more in 15th Grade
That's 200 players out of the clubs.

I don't know how (historically) school numbers have stacked up.
Yet to hear if "Mainland get tough on age grade" is any different to last season, which was widely ignored by a number of clubs.
10CC, the club that best tried to play "in grade" 2013 seems to have changed their viewpoint considerably. Two things apply here, firstly pressure from players/family's and secondly if they have no confidence in other clubs following the guidelines why should they? Potentially are they also trying to shelter themselves from the new neighbor?? That is a pretty serious thing Fred said about 10th Grade, it beggars belief they can't field a side...
I don't want to be Mr Doom and Gloom but I'm picking bad high score blow outs in at least 5 Div1/Div2 grades pre Easter. Hopefully less than the 20's we've seen in both the 2012 and 2013 seasons. If we want the Saturday Grades to have some sort of competitive or 'struggle' component then we need Uniformity over selection rules and Pre-Season Grading?
I also feel this gets said every year!
Agree totally Foal. Fc2011 is to commended for that. Trouble is are they guidelines or rules? MF has a history a trying to enforce guidelines whilst at the same time allowing disregard to rules (something they are guilty of themselves through ignorance or otherwise).
They fail miserably at both, so how anyone is supposed to know the set parameters from one season to the next, even within a season, has totally escaped them.
Check out the post today on the CF governance thread re schools clubs and fed approach to it. Lol
Yer at least we can take heart that we're not the only ones.
Deleted. Wrong thread...
Bit sneaky of IFANZ to start advertising on other club's facebook pages for players to join them instead of their club!

Why not get Mainland to push it? Get Mike to give it a mention in his newsletter.
Oh no they only push FTC and endorse the new programme at Yaldhurst for ex FC2011 lads.
