Quote:FNSW Institute players dominate AIS Squad
Football NSW are pleased to announce that 11 FNSW Institute players have been offered and accepted scholarship positions at the Australia Institute of Sport (AIS).
This is the largest intake of players from a Member Federation in the 33 year history of the AIS Football Program.
The players were selected from training camps throughout 2013, the NTC Challenge in December and a final selection camp in January.
Overall there were six players from the Football NSW Institute Under 16s side and five from the Football NSW Institute Under 15s.
Football NSW Institute Under 16s coach and former AIS graduate Craig Foster was delighted with the news.
“This is testimony to the work undertaken at Football NSW in recent years, especially the value of selecting technically proficient players and working along sound developmental guidelines without reference to results at younger ages.
“There is much work ahead to increase the quantity and quality of player production, but this is another important step.
“The unusually high number leaves us undermanned, however, and I look forward to welcoming new players into this season's group.”
Football NSW Institute Under 15s coach Milan Blagojevic shared similar views with Foster and praised the development pathway system.
“Whilst surprising to have so many younger players taken into the AIS it is great to see their hard work and dedication rewarded like this.
“It is also a measure of the success of the Football NSW Institute program from its very beginnings with the first Skilleroos U/12s squad in 2011.
“The players have taken their next step in their development and I wish them all the best for the future.”
Football NSW AIS PLAYERS:
· Daniel Arzani
· Malcolm Ward
· Peter Kekeris
· Solomon Monahan-Vaiika
· Henry Davies
· Perry Fotakopoulos
· Joe Caletti
· Daniel Maskin
· Jackson Bandiera
· Zachary Speth
· Kosta Petratos The interesting thing is that 11 players were selected, assuming they offer 17 or 20 players scholarships? which is a AIS record(33 Years) =d> So either FNSW are finally getting there act together in youth development or the standard from the rest of the states has dropped? Only time will tell which is the true factor. Its also interested because supposedly they are the first batch of the SAP/Skillaroos Programs too. And they are coached by the one and only Craig Foster maybe his not a pretender after all? :d Edited by Barca4life: 14/3/2014 06:34:09 PM

Congratulations to the players for their hard work effort and persistence.
Big congrats to the coaches for their perseverance in staying true to their ideals.
The biggest congrats to the administers for making this a reality and for setting a standard.
You can thank Queensland for all this as we lost Peter de roo to the AIS best technical director Queensland ever had and second to none at identifying quality players.
Best of luck to all.=d> =d> =d>

A realistic appraisal would be that this is where NSW should be.
They have nearly more juniors than the rest of the country put together.
More and better qualidfied coaches.
More and better facilities.
At the epicentre of the FFA's National Coaching and Development Staff.
Three hours from the AIS facilities and Sport Science.

I like to think it is a sign that the best talent in NSW is getting the opertunity to be seen. Unlike queensland.
At least I hope so.
Would it be fair to say that Victoria is fractured and full of internal strife.

Apparently the Victorian team is good team, they lost to NSW in the final and from watching the highlights on there Facebook page they played a great brand of football. Also there is a kid in that team who is signed or close to signing for Liverpool!

The Vic NTC team was undefeated and beat the NSW team in the final. They did not have one out field player that was offered a AIS position and only 2 keepers were given spots. The selectors seemed to stick with mostly NSW and Queensland players who were in the system already. The NTC program is run by the FFA and had nothing to do with the NPL dispute between clubs and the FFV. Not one player in the squad come from a VPL team.

Victoria maybe poiticised at the board level, but player development continues apace with many exciting talents. Details about the LFC player soon. Edited by Arthur: 19/3/2014 10:24:54 AM

6 QLD players selected, also a record and a much higher percentage pro rata than NSW.

So why would Victoria would miss out, and Queensland gets players selected given they peformed poorly than Victoria? smells like incompetence to me from the FFA/AIS coaches…
So 11 from NSW plus 6 from QLD means that all the scholarships they have offered, only 2 states were chosen? ](*,)
Then we question why we don't qualify to a Youth World Cup, the answer is quite simple when you don't select the best players who are performing right now not by reputation.
We can't afford to waste precious player resources when competing in Asia, the FFA should know the difficulties of qualify through Asia.
Poor Form by them. [-x

One of the things to consider is the way a team plays, not results. Hypothetically, one team could have a brilliant goal sneak/striker who converts 2 goals from 3 individual chances out of 4 team chances created in a whole game from team open play. The opposition could create 35 chances and convert one, displaying profligacy around goal. The losing team may be a much better team in Proactive play. This probably happened when Victory beat Yokohama last night. Victory achieved an upset, but have far more to work on before their next game against the same opponents in a few weeks.

Glorified robots at play, when we get more players playing in some of the biggest clubs in the world then and only then we can say we have achieved something.

The 11 players is a record for a single intake but that's really only because the intake numbers has changed. In the past there would be a squad of up to 28 players but they would come in over 2 years. This year all of the previous scholarship holders have been moved on (because their too old for the next AFC U16s) so there were 24 scholarships available rather than the usual 12-15. I know in past years there have been a lot more than 11 NSW players at the AIS, recently there were 14 in 2009 and 13 in 2007 but they didn't all begin their scholarships at the same time.
Although Victoria won the last NTC, I'm not surprised that NSW and QLD have the bulk of the players. They won these age groups in Coffs and I thought they played the best football at the NTC as well. Victoria relied heavily on scoring early and then holding on to that lead and counter attacking. They played some good football but I thought they became more preoccupied with the result as the week progressed and became conservative once gaining a lead. Their goalkeepers were excellent and deservedly have been selected. They had one boy who was very dominant in midfield and did the job of 2 players but I believe he is the one on the radar of Liverpool so perhaps he declined the AIS trial. I know there were 2 players who declined trials but I don't know who they are or what state they're from.
