No question, like any school syllabus or curriculum they need to evolve over time to keep up with trends and current deficiencies.

OUR trends and deficiencies.... I agree ours though, not someone else's... In this case I agree that "we unique" 

We have the funding (as small as it is it is thousands of times better than 80% of the rest of the footballing world), we have the clubs, we have generational knowledge and we are in the unique position of having a mutlicultural society with a font of inherent knowledge.... 

Im sure we have all heard the anecdote of tierry henry improvising for pep, scoring and then getting hooked. Ernie merrick said he is revamping the 14+ period of the ntc so that we learn to play like ange, do we are going more in a systems direction

The sap and game discovery phase exercizes by contrast encourage creativity. Unfortunately for those that like individual expression, systems seem to be winning the most trophies. 

As for people taking the ntc too rigidly, it was interesting sherman said that that must be his fault and those before him. However, to be a bit harsh on aloisi, coaching talent surely plays a role. A national curriculum cant paper over the fact that we dont have a pyramid and therefore no efficient way for talented coaches to rise up the pyramid and poor ones to fall down. If you coach in the 10th division of a pyramid for 20 years and never rise higher you are probably better off sticking to the ntc rigidly haha. A pyramid would ensure that the innovative coaches rise to the top. There is no curriculum that can compensate for that
