Especially when you lost by 50.

Coached one or two 8am/8:30am at Morphett Vale and the Leisure Centre as well. They were ok coz we won by 50 :D

I did a few 8am at Morphett Vale in my time back in 14s...not a great advertisement for district ball, I tell you.

Just to clarify, I never said ALL juniors should be conferenced:

ONLY the lower divisions say 3 and below, to introduce new players to district ball.

Though the Vic model seems to be the go.

And QLD - they breed 'em big, that's why!

This conference argument is flawed anyhow - BASA already implemented it to an extent a while back in I think a girls lower div comp(not sure if its around anymore) - and that's where it should stay, for boys and girls. The best bet to get kids to come out and play for a district club is to keep it at that lower level, where the clubs make most of their money from new players joining up. I know I've had friends who have turned against playing district ball because of the travel to hillbilly county. A conference system for the lower divs makes sense as an introduction to district ball for those players who won't neccessarily jump straight into the top program. And these players are generally the kind that play div3/4 their whole lives and play div 4/5 mens after they leave juniors too!

It also allows those local clubs - Northern Rattlers, Torrens Valley, Gawler Gunners (now playing them WAS an experience), that Southern team (Southern Vales? unsure, I know there was a Coast team awhile ago) an opportunity to attact players and grow as well with the advertisement of local games.

Can't be bothered going through sporting pulse to check, Jirachi and others know if it still exists, whether its on the board?
