YOUNG GUNS | New state academy underway Welcome to the first edition of Young Guns. Throughout the 2010 season we will follow talented young players around the state and provide insights into the progress of these players through both the Tasmanian State League and the Tasmanian State Under 16 and Under 18 Academy programs. This year Tasmania has adopted a new National Talent Development program known as the State Academy Program. The State Academies exist at Under 16 and Under 18 level and replace the previous Under 16 and Under 18, or Tassie Mariners programs. This is a new approach to Talent Development led by the AFL that will see 40 players in both the Under 18 and Under 16 age groups selected to form two State Academy squads that will train and be developed collectively and individually over the 2010 season. It focuses more on the season long development of individual players, rather than just the preparation of a State team to travel to the National Championships. State Academy Program Coaching Staff State Academy Under 18 Coach – Mathew Armstrong. State Academy Under 16 Coach – Adam Sanders. Northwest Academy Under 18 Coach – Richard Lakeland. Southern Academy Under 18 Coach – Lance Spaulding. Northwest Academy Under 16 Coach – Adam Aherne. Southern Academy Under 16 Coach – Steve Gillbee. David Kinsella is the Strength Conditioning & Rehabilitation Manager. Dave relocated from WA to begin this role in 2009 and has an enormous impact on the preparation and management of the players in the Academy programs as they build and manage their bodies for the rigours of many seasons of football ahead. Players in the Under 18 age group trained regionally around the state in a 6 week selection period prior to Christmas. They have since been completing up to 5 group and individual sessions a week based on their individual development programs and have attended two camps. Critical to the development of players in the program will be the opportunity to train and play with their home TSL clubs. This is a terrific environment for young talented players to experience a different type of development and is one of the advantages that our young players have over some programs interstate, for example the TAC Cup. April sees all State Under 18 Academy members playing the first four rounds with their TSL clubs, prior to the beginning of a 7 game Under 18 campaign.
