As I said, it is my opinion and I'm no expert but what I watched and lots of other spectators, were stating the same.  The truth should not hurt you and the coaching and style of football is not up to scratch.

I'm glad you like it, so stay with it, but don't talk up the football thunder plays cause you are kidding yourself.  Wake up and try and learn what REP football is all about.  Get up and go and watch PLY games and then u will see, there is more to football than CCF.

As the brother of young kid ( under 10 goal keeper) who wants to play rep football next year i say let the kids do what they want to do.

if the kids wants to play rep football and the parents are willing to fork out the cash for the sake of playing rep football let them . if they dont they dont let them have fun playing for clubs no big deal.

Personaly i dont see the point of thunder. if the kids not selected for lightning at the time, play a year in A grade club football and see how you go the year after that.

i have not seen any thunder games so i cant comment on the quality, but from what ive read is the kids going to develop any better then they would at club level and is it worth all the travel time ?

Well I will probably cop some flack from the doubters on here, but I have been appointed coach for the Central Coast U11 Thunder Storm for 2009. I am honoured to be given the chance and I will do my utmost to ensure the boys to embrace their full potential. So please don't crucify me....... yet!

Congrats
What qualifications did you need for that/ how long you have been coaching?
Just curious as i wouldnt mind heading down that path over the years...lol probs should concentrate on 2009- out looking for a new team/club next year (moving from peninsula)

and hey no pressure on you Ted- people are starting to realise Thunder aint that easy- which wil make next year's expectations more reasonable!

Minimum requirement is a youth coaching licence mate (a few years coaching also helps). They also take into account your overall achievements and want demonstrated proof you can organize and implement a full season of constructive training sessions to benefit each player in the team and help them achieve their full potential.
