FTC is 75% attendance regardless of Burnley (or whoever) is setting up.
There is sound coaching reasons about why this is so.
"Accreditation" or eligibility for NTC is a separate issue. If Chch is similar to the other main centers NZF are going to need to come up with some decisions fairly quickly. As far as I am aware Mainland do have an understanding with APFA but APFA are not taking "part-timers" for 2013. So if you choose FTC then APFA is not an option.
And while I'm on a roll 2 things screws kids sport, $ and Adults. No "private provider" has any right to whinge about higher honor selection when their intake will be defined by what parents can afford it. 1 provider with a transperant and stringent trial and ID process should cover a City the size of Chch easily. If rumours are to be believed by the end of the year we will have 4 different schools and they will all want the same kids, the high end.
