Gaps in results in U14 girls

156, how would you resolve the situation?

There are a number of substantial issues with the girls competition at the moment and the imbalance between clubs. The boys is not so obvious due to the higher number of boys teams. Raising the level of coaching is something that I expect most clubs are working towards, but I think part of the problem is that some clubs have a lack of critical mass. When you have 4 teams in an age group as opposed to one, the ability to recruit and retain good players is better than the smaller club. It's then a circle of doom as good players leave, performances drop off etc. The #9 player at a weak club is Div 3 standard, that #9 player at a strong club is a Div 1.

Clubs feel pressured to nominate Div 2 standard teams in Div 1 to attract players, but the club needs to nominate in a Div where their players are at.

One factor not mentioned and I don't know if she coached on Friday night, but I believe the Norwood coach has a new job and won't be coaching this season. Can someone confirm if she coached on Friday? Having a temp coach can disrupt the team and could explain that result.

There will always stronger and weaker teams. No-one wants to pull the strong ones down (that's the politics of envy), instead let's raise the weak ones up.

The 5th game must have been a craker!
Seriously - not good. One of those four games was Fv v Sturt. Can't blame the winning clubs tho.. Hope the rockets are that good or it's the top 3 then daylight.
