Do NZF treat all private acadmies with the same level of indifference?
Zonknz.Jr plays for one of those private academies. It's pretty clear that there is a love/hate relationship with most academies from NZF; especially as some of those academies advise their players not to waste their time in NTC/FTC given the variable quality of the coaching in those programs :>
I do subscribe to that approach. A secondary kid in NZ may have a different coaches 3 times per week - FTC, School & Club comp. It's a ludicrous apprach.
