Surely the way to go is back to the super youth days? Had all the schools against each other (Boys High and Shirley the top 2 by a way), and the standard was pretty good. Definitely had Chch schools fighting higher at a national level. No reason you couldn't have it on a Wednesday so players can turn out for clubs at the weekend. Different code, but rugby have got a good competition with the Press cup for the region. Probably not the money for schools to have it over as large a region (Timaru to Nelson) but something to look at. I would have loved the chance to travel round the South Island playing games!
