VC Junior Finals
Fabulous result for the Boomers. Four Vic titles on Friday night and our 16's pushed Dandy but went down by only 6. Go Boomers


Regardless of the end results, pretty proud of having 5 teams competing for VC titles tomorrow night. Great effort for players and coaches.

Sorry to drift off topic, I wish Sunbury u/20 men luck, but Dandenong will be a tough hurdle...

Anon^ I wouldn't even begin to say how any particular Association handles their youth league age kids, I would however try to put into perspective how much demand is placed on them and how this may impact the individual kid's future.
If a kid is playing both, how does he/she cope with time allocation to fit in everything, for example:
1. Year 12 studies and exams for some
2. University studies or exams for many
3. Part time work, for many who have to earn
4. u/20's team training sessions (2 X per week)
5. YL training sessions (2 X per week)
6. Additional recovery/video/strengthening work
7. Friday night VJBL games
8. Saturday or Sunday YL games
9. Tournaments or State commitments (for a few)
10. Growing up as a young adult...?
Just sayin' it is a pretty full schedule!

I always thought for kids doing year 12 especially, playing under 20's and youth league would be too much, but hey if they can fit it in good luck to them.
Also depends very much about where the kids play and how it suits them and their future plans in the game.
