YOUNG GUNS | Great Leap Forward The Tasmanian State League (TSL) U18 competition in 2010 has been a great step forward in standard from the regional U19 competition of 2009. The majority of boys playing in this competition are committed to improving their performance and have ambitions of playing senior football with their club or at a higher level. The U18 competition is a great introduction for talented young players coming out of youth community football to get the feel for what being involved at a senior club is all about. Playing at a higher standard week in, week out against sometimes older boys is a whole new challenge to young players and as has been seen this year a terrific way for players to show significant improvement. This was one of the major reasons the State U16 team enjoyed recent success at the national championships as all U16 State Academy players played at TSL U18 level or above this year. Young players from every TSL club this year have progressed from playing U18 to senior football throughout the year. Some are given one or two games for experience; others flourish once they get their chance and hold their position in the team for a longer period. What the better standard of the U18 competition has done this year is make it a bit easier for these boys to feel comfortable at senior level more quickly. The jump into senior football is a big challenge for most players and it is vitally important with the young lists most TSL clubs have that we have a high standard youth competition underpinning the senior competition. Being a coach at TSL U18 level is a huge responsibility and has equal amounts of challenges and rewards. A winning culture is a great culture to have and should be encouraged but these coaches also have the responsibility to develop players for the future and not just being concerned with the day’s or year’s result. A key component of a TSL U18 coach’s KPI’s should be how many future senior footballers he can develop for his club and establishing a team and individual learning environment for his players to thrive in. Going forward into 2011 a “Colts” team made up of a majority of U18 players will underpin a club’s senior team. This will make it even more important for TSL club’s to develop talented young players through this team so they are ready to step into senior football when they are called upon.
