What about Eric Bradley, or are we only talking previous Americans?

Gotta agree here with Mr Arnott. We are missing a lot of potential players who have no where to play. Libertine, most stadiums already delivery miniball. I agree clubs should give assistance, but what we need is a low-cost competition for non-elite ball players. By nonn-elite I'm thinking below div 2 juniors. If you can't afford to play district or you are a relative novice, playing in a non threatening, less competitive competition where fun and enjoyment is promoted rather than winning, wouldn't we increase our base of players. I'm not sure that too many people know this. But Dandenong the club have about 5000 members total. While the whole of the district senior and junior comps don't even have that much. And that is just one Association in Melbourne. Why wouldn't BASA be for it. More players means more court revenue for them, and more potential spectators for the Sixers and Lightning. Everybody get on to their committee and get something happening because we are just sliping further and further behind.

I think rather than do it in 'clubs' like they do in Melbourne etc, it'd be best to do it in schools, and only up to the end of Primary School. I'm sure it would be alot easier for a club like Forestville or Norwood to coordinate a schoools comp over a few nights a week starting from yr3s (u10s) to yr7s(u14s). What d'yall reckon?
