So the CC youth are going to play in the NSWSL next year and the PYL in 2013. I'm not sure why this is a bad thing.

The only teams to get the chop was the senior and under 21 mens sides and being a full fee paying member of CCF I dont mind this either. The fact that lightning players spat the dummy in the newspapers and said they would go straight to Sydney or Newcastle rather than to come back to the local association and give back to the local football community that has been subsidising them reinforces that fact for me.

Anyway below is a link to the CCF junior football development plan so you can judge for yourself. My eldest is in one of the regional teams at the moment and he loves it. Even if he doesn't get through the experience has been fantastic. The training and games are at a higher level than normal club football and he gets to play with some of the better players from our local area that he has played against for the last 5 years.

Killing CC Lightning and removing any chance of CC seniors and youth playing in NSWSL is throwing the baby out with the bath water. There was no necessity to be one or the other, with one a step in the elite development ladder and community club and the other, the top rung.
