What makes Tenpin Bowling different to other sports…
Why is it that as soon as there is talk of an increase of memberships fees that majority jump up and down and complain that they want MORE FOR THEIR MONEY…
This is a question I often asked myself a lot…I have been involved in many a different sports both Team or individual but Tenpin Bowling stands out so different from others…
Tenpin Bowling won’t survive on pittance…Or perhaps it will, just not at the levels that everyone wants to see the sport reach…
Soccer Australia as much as participation levels are up (since the world cup) at the moment still see that they need TO BOOST the profile and wait for it MEMBERSHIP LEVELS…
How are they going to do it may you ask?
Wait for it INCREASE MEMBERSHIP FEES and this is what they intend to do as a 10 YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLAN…
A youth league and a women's A-League were part of a 10-year National Football Development Plan unveiled yesterday by Football Federation Australia.
The FFA wants each A-League club, except Wellington, to field a team in the youth league, with the eighth side to be an Australian Institute of Sport XI.
Roar chief executive officer Lawrence Oudendyk supported the concept - set to include the use of four over-age players per team - but said cost was a major issue.
FFA chairman Lowy's vision for the future of Australian football includes a World Cup final between Brazil and the Socceroos at Telstra Stadium in 2018.
I have ambition and a dream to aim to be in the final of the World Cup in 2018 and host the World Cup in 2018," said Lowy, who added that government backing was essential.
"I think we have as good a chance as any other nation to host it. There's a lot of sympathy for Australia and we can do a great job, which is known all over the world.
"Australia has the knowledge, the capacity and the players to achieve very high standards."
The development plan includes an overhaul of Australia's system from the grassroots up, including:
Trying to attract and develop more indigenous and country players.
• Farming Australian coaches to overseas clubs to improve the local standard.
• Work closer with governments to improve facilities and keep pace with demand.
• Integrate futsal (INDOOR SOCCER) more effectively.
• Introduce small-sided games as a standard format for kids under 12 to improve skills.
• Improve schools programs.
FFA's Dutch technical director Rob Baan, who only arrived in January, admitted the plan was delayed because he wanted to get a grip on the Australian system before making his own recommendations.
Baan said Australian children were extremely disciplined but were technically inferior to most developed nations, while the system lacked a pathway.
