Southern have made the following appointments for the division 1 boys program.

U/10 Michelle Fisher
U/12 Kim Jury
U/14 Travis Leaver
U/16 Shaun Jennings
U/18 Matt Alexander
U/20 Shane Boal/Heath Jury

Am I Right,

To my knowledge, South's lineup will look something like this :

Boys
U12s - Daryl Crump
U14s - ??
U16s - Craig Rowe
U18s - Chas McCormick

Girls
U12s - Glenn Shaw
U14s - Ryan Kinghorn
U16s - ?? (Simon Crowden?)
U18s - ??

Glenn Shaw staying at one club more than a year?

any news on the forestville coaches? is Paul Arnot comming back to coach?

U/16 coach may have a lot to do with the exodus from eagles. His priorities are country players first and foremost and his preferential treatment of country players has worn a bit thin. A good junior program wont last if the smoke about Boti and Ilze turns out to have a fire fanning it. Players and coaches can't continue to face blocking tactics indefinitely.

That would be sad if true mambo, Forestville girls program has improved enormously since 2000.

thats why south are the club that they are as they have coaches like chas mc cormick coaching the 18's!!

take that how you like??

No one cares about the girls at Southern. Who the JCD? How typical.

Is Boti going to southern before or after he takes the Under 14 Forestville girls team to Brisbane? His last hurrah?

Southern have made the following appointments for the Division 1 Girls Program.

Under 10 M Fisher
Under 12 B Davies
Under 14 A Nowak
Under 16 I Nagy
Under 18 B Nagy
Under 21 A Hodge

Adrian Hodges is assist. coach to the ABL Tiger Women.

MAMBO & AGREE MAMBO,

What a load of crock,stop whining and blaming others for your child not being as good as you think he or she is.We all have knockbacks in
our lives,successful people accept it and get on with it.They dont make excuses but work harder to improve and take their opportunity
when it comes. So dont blame country people who have as much right to play as you do.

(#91768)

I have not been appointed any position as yet so your info, at this stage, is false.

"Agree Mambo,

Will be interesting to see after the State Country tournament how many new players Forestville will bring in from the country. Especially down south. And how many Metro players will miss out on state again becasue they are sitting on the bench when they should be starting. " unquote

yes i agree with the coaching connection they may pull a few from the SE to Forestville.
However SE is a long haul and big ask for sustained involvement and only the red hot will maintain it.

if the player is good enough they will make the cut - if not

JUST GO ELSEWHERE

mavericks are bleeding in the girls at present - find a group of like minded players and put a package to a lower club

work out what you want - it is a fact that country players get preference at certain clubs - but they usually can play and many get knocked back as well - you should refer to "SA Country" players - no just bushies

SA Country players - IMO are all worthy of playing div 1

there are more clubs than country players - so try elsewhere

the clubs policy will be stronger than individuals needs - and why not - SA country players are good value

frustrating - me think time to move on - nothings going to change

just further - I would think any pro active coach would further their case by getting players involved - so find a cousin in the bush or buy a farm! LOL

if you are not in the click - nudge nudge wink wink

if you are at eagles - there are plenty of other clubs around you - just do not be surprised at the stronger clubs it is the same

it is not unreasonable for the nagys to head to tigger land

they live down that way (I think) for a start

tigers girls programme has numbers but only mid range results - so tempting for someone with their knowledge to get involved and get them going

south may be a little dissapointed that they din't go there

RE # 91821

I know a lot more parents who look through ROSE coloured glasses than coaches who do.

heard that mavs women have a new coach but not sure of name?

any good coach should bring their existing network to where they are at - it may involve players

just a political minefield

U/10 Michelle Fisher
U/12 Kim Jury
U/14 Travis Leaver
U/16 Shaun Jennings
U/18 Matt Alexander
U/20 Shane Boal/Heath Jury

Under 10 M Fisher
Under 12 B Davies
Under 14 A Nowak
Under 16 I Nagy
Under 18 B Nagy
Under 21 A Hodge

This is clearly the best group of Division one coaches at this club for some time.
Looks like things may be moving in the right direction down southern for a change.....

Going by the names and what i've seen of them, I think its the best coaching panel I've seen at Southern Tigers/NCT.

The Girls 16's, 18's & 21's combo looks damn good!

Does anyone know why Nagy's left Eagles? Facts, not rumours please?

move has been on for ages - believe woodville was on the cards at one stage previously - but position filled

South Girls

U12s - Glenn Shaw
U14s - Ryan Kinghorn
U16s - ?? (Simon Crowden?)
U18s - Russel Barnett

Southern Tigers clearly are on the right track also heard have nearly linked up with a powerful country program that will reap them benefits with promising quality junior country kids. Yes i agree with some post about city V's country but in the end the best player will get the spot.

The issue is not country kids playing in a metro comp vee three and other misfiring cylinders...
The issue is where country kids play and if it helps or hinders metro kids development and in turn SA basketball.
On other threads Ive been critical of Sturts 14 and 16 girls program because they run 5 or 6 country kids, most of whom are very good players. My criticism is, that prevents the development of metro kids who are near or at the same level.
I am appreciative of the time and efort country players and parents put in and the sacrifices made to play in the city so in no way should you read this as criticism of that commitment. However we need to strengthen SA basketball and you don't do that by limiting access to metro kid's Div 1 development. In fact you half the talent pool by blocking their path.
As you will discover this is not a universally held tenet!
But with the number of country kids coming to town, my belief is that a southern club and a northern club should be nominated to field country teams in the district comp.
I don't think the eagles puting another country state coach at 14's is a forward looking step and will heighten the perception that their focus is country state especially in the girls where they have 14 and 16 covered.
As to the statement that country state players are all worthy of playing Div 1-I think this would depend entirely on the club they played with. I think their were some very unlucky metro district players in some clubs not getting Div 1 spots and Div 1 players not played enough to give country players time.
Keep your criticisms of this reply to the points not to whether or not Im a disgruntled parent. It is also not a Sturt bashing, as whilst I disagree with their country policy I am a strong supporter( replace with envious) of their coaching talent.
And finally-
Dear mrs Bankrupt : no there are NOT more clubs than players.
Mambo
