    I suppose you shall create so many academies - (If you go back and read what I said on this you will see - I spoke of the schools being our academies...and other academies i.e. club and say JFF academies) - all kids that show potential would not need "school football"?

    massa - My call is "school academies" and "other academies"! I have been saying that for a long time!

    In one particualr article - I said, either "Our schools are..." or "The schools are..." our academies. Currently that is still the case. I even spent some time on explaining why it would make sense to improve the teaching of/coaching of football in schools - We get the kids from 'the cradle'...and lose them/let them go/they go off at 16 through 19+.

    Some of the things I can remember off the top of my head - in no particular order
    i) Captive numbers of willing pupils.
    ii) Investment in physical plants by the government and private sector.
    iii) Cost sharing - staff, physical structure, training of coaches (via teachers colleges and outside experts)
    iv) Ease of...use of...administration

    Please dig up the Columns section of the site...and the editorial section.

      what purpose does inter-school football serve? what purpose does inter-school basketball, tennis, table tennis, water polo (your personal favourite) and on and on ...server?

      you cannot be serious! have a re-think.

        Competition? Exercise? Are we attempting to develop world class Tennis, Water Polo and Basketball programs? If so my answer would be that they wouldn't serve a purpose other than as a pastime for teenagers.

Look at the average organize football played by American and English kids and see that we are way behind. All ODP kids I know play almost all year round under good coaching.

          The schools are a part but not the major partners, the clubs are.
          Who saying at those 'developmental stages' we are way behind? How do you judge that?

          Compare say KC's Manning Cup team to...?
          ...or...is it our National Under 18 team to an U-18 'developmental team' in...say Miami?
          ...or...is it our U-17 to the US U-17?
          ...what?

          I am not sure we are waaaaaaaaaay behind in terms of potential?
          We have a problem with organisation, administration and preparation (assembly of players - selecting & assembling, coaching, number of matches against quality opposition, etc...) of TEAMs.

            even as a "pasttime for teenagers" it serves an important function!

              Hence the need for academies to develop this potential

                  Yup!
                  ...but types of academies? - ...academies in schools, clubs and the JFF?

                    My 2 cents,...I'm hoping someone Mis interpreted Simoes's bad english. I'm sure Schoolboy football is played around the world including England, US, Brazil and everywhere you can think of..This is a means to give everyone a chance to see who belongs.
                    What is missing is the developmental aspect of Youth football where we'll have the best players at football academies. For Jamaica size, we proabaly need at most 4 academies...They can even compete in the Schoolbooy competition or the U21 club competition.
                    Schoolboy Fottball is here to say for obvious reasons. It was never the ideal place for football development but should be used as a means to identify raw talent that needs to be harnessed

                      Point taken as long as we are not relying on it as a development tool.

                        Without academies where else would they come form?

                          Well, that's what we have been doing for the most part, but I don't know anyone who thought that was good enuff.

                          You?

                            Well unless we are just complacent I would have to assume the JFF thinks it's good enough or action would have been taken.

                              Potential we can pick up a street. Most of our 20 year old players don't know how to head a ball, don't understand how to move on on off the ball. Most of them can't Kick a ball 30 yards to goal as their techniques are lacking and then tell nuff a them bout marking.

                              In many instances these are basic stuff that is taught at the lower level. When last you see an American player who can't head a ball execpt Jeff Cunningham? A wonder why?

                              Another thing is for many schools the best coaches are not available to develop these players and there is no standard.

                                If we do the right things it will quickly be in the schools that all will be able to do the technical things properly (i.e. trap, pass, head), understand importance of movement and 'the triangle', TEAM...team-play, etc. ...and it would be normal for the best coaches to be in our national team coaching set-up....working as lecturer-teachers of other coaches and or coaching teams.
