Agree, I’ve had a little bit of exposure to this type of school in the US, geared towards sports (basketball in the main) and my son actually attended one (as did Steven Adams actually). While very good for his basketball, excellent for him academically and in life. The only diwnside was it cost me a fortune loltheprof
Phoenix the inspiration behind one of a kind charter school - Wellington Phoenix no different to any of the other charter schools out there - in concept, ie a focus on a particular area - ie sport s performance instead of the army/a particular culture etc. If it brings in cash for Welnix and the board then why not get in on it early?
Of course, we all understand why you would not support this or even be remotely positive about it.
Is the cost any different from parents putting their child through one of the Football Academies. Could be wrong but i also thought scholarships were hopefully going to be available know. The Phoenix already operate a system to help families with costs if it needed.
