Elite Sydney Highschools

I can only speak from my own experience of the number of schools getting around our association and others that I'm aware of and looking to offer incentives to athletes at top age U14/U16 level to come to their school.
If you're talking about elite players then these are overwhelmingly produced through associations. I stand by my first post

A majority of an athletes improvement is done from the 7th-12th grade. I agree that associations identify and foster development but they don't provide key aspects of development such as weight training. Schools that are K-12 also have programs that run from prep into high school.

So "some" schools have the ability to polish a player more than "some" associations, but they still don't "produce" them. Or can you tell me the high schools that are out there running learn to play programs in the local primary schools?

I beg to differ. Some schools do more than certain associations to foster and develop a player's potential just due to them being involved with the athlete on an a year basis along with better coaching at schools than some associations have.

Sydney high schools don't "produce" talent. Local associations do and the schools borrow or steal them

Hey All

Heard a call last at social ball that I haven't ever heard before - an offensive player cannot leave the court to evade an defender.

We had a player cutting baseline and stepped out of court to avoid the defensive zone and got the call against him.

Is this a rule? If so, I have been getting away with it for 20 years!
