Re: Lady Reds Coach To Quit

NTC girls did play very well. The front 3 combined really well, and there movement off the ball was exceptional. I am very glad and sincere the team did very well. It is what we would like to see. However, it does not mean these players will get the opportunity to play for the lady reds under RA in...

Re: Lady Reds Coach To Quit

The ntc girls actually have a monthly program as to when trainings are and where. Also the ntc girls are training 3 times a week plus another day for strength and conditioning plus an individual home session so that makes it 5 sessions plus game day so work it out. Also they played fantastic on Sun...

Re: Lady Reds Coach To Quit

There are many and varied reasons why some high quality local players (who are in many people's opinions good enough for "W League") don't get selected. Sometimes they are not interested as some other people have said, sometimes timing and circumstances conspire against them, etc, etc. Ma...

Re: Lady Reds Coach To Quit

Hey socca, Adelaide United didn't just dump lady reds. The lady reds were not viable or successful at the time. Adelaide United were unable to sustain both AU and especially the Lady Reds. To AU credit, they agreed to continue to support the FFSA by subsidising the Lady Reds. In case your not sure ...

Re: Move Juniors season forward one month or weeks

Adding cancelled winter games and training just bolsters the argument. All football grounds get waterlogged in winter and games/training get cancelled. No clubs' facilities in SA are good enough to cope with the bad weather. I'm proposing the schedule change to mitigate (minimise) the effects of th...

Re: Move Juniors season forward one month or weeks

There are too many training sessions and games cancelled in February. This happens every year in Adelaide. It is pointless training or playing in February.

The season in my description includes all training and trial games, since for U11 and below, they're all games for no points. As opposed to U12+ who play for points.

All games cancelled, 40 degrees Sunday. Horrible start to the Juniors season.
