Should there be an u14 ajc?

No way, there already is enough pressure on young talented kids from their parents, this will just make it worse. The big risk already is that talented kids quit because of parental pressure; don't make it worse. Let them be kids.

Personally, I'd like to see an u14 state champs.
The 12 and 13 year old talent was pretty amazing at this years scc and acjbc.
U20s Feb, u18 April, u16 July, u14 (around sept-oct)

Still with the same development tournaments earlier in the year.

I don't think that would be a good idea.

Personally I don't believe they should even have U/14 National Clubs as players at that age have not fully developed and there is pressure being put on them and also the event has grown to 24 teams participating now and why do teams that finished 12th and 13th in the country get medals when the 9 teams before them get nothing.

BNSW held a forum towards the end of last year and Michael Haynes presented a very good paper on looking to get rid of U/12 Competitions and running Skills camps over 4 weekends for the kids to learn to play the game properly by developing their skills and playing some friendly games on the weekend as well and being mixed into Country and Metro mixed teams.

NSW Country run this type of thing under the name of Jamboree and it is very successful and the kids have fun.
