That argument is something the ALP or Greens would run in their belief of us calling each other Comrade.
Fact is kids will play where their mates play and no amount of capping will ever work.. Can't play club together will play school together then years down the track be lost to football as school is loving and caring and not about developing a CLUB culture for the kids to believe in.

you are not convinced?? If kids cannot play with their mates they will go elsewhere. Have a look in E/town backyard.. Before you tell me I have NFI.. I have 2 nephews (unfortunately) playing at E/town juniors. It is a mind set I want to play with my friends.. Not where some old bugger tells me I should be playing..

We keep hearing that argument but I'm not convinced. Is there any proof out there other than heresay? community Football surely must have some data on that?

Coaching school and club footy for the last 5 years I have seen it first hand. This year we couldn't get a school Year 6/7 team up and got offered by a nearby school for our kids to play there and only 2 kids took that up, the rest went and played soccer.
There is no reason why Lonsdale can't be like Reynella in 5 years time, instead of complaining about things you can't control, do something you can control, get out there and work hard.

Playing with your mates does play a role, so does parents who have had a positive experience at a club talking to other parents.
Yes Reynella do it well at the moment, as do Happy Valley, Flaggies and Brighton. It's all about a positive culture, football runs a distant second to that.
Strong clubs are all about people, and using football as a medium to make young men into great citizens.
Parents look at clubs as a whole, the clubs mentioned above work extremely hard on their culture and their overall image.
Something several clubs don't seem to get!

You didn't read my subsequent post, kids in year 7 are playing u14's on Saturday mornings for the clubs and when your school is in between Flaggies and HV who are only 3-4kms apart anyway what can you do? Club footy will always win over school footy in this instance.
