failed Bahamas in T&F , could we learn something from T&F and apply it to our unique cultural economic reality for our football development ?
I can tell you this. The coaching system is quite different. In Jamaica, the coaches go to G.C. Foster College, which is affiliated with the University of the West Indies. They get their physical education degrees, bachelors or higher, and they have to be IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) certified to get a job coaching. The kids get their training from the schools. They don’t have to pay for training

Claffy & OJ say poor people must pay club acadamies to develop youth,I will say it again we need to develop football that fits our cultural economic football reality ,school boy football is a part of it and its not going anywhere,given the input by corporate JA and other stakeholders(fans),it will more than likely lead the way in youth development.The JFF need to find that bridge for clubs to transition into that system of development and youths who want to pursue pro football to transition into the club system.It goes both ways, like school boy football isnt goimng anywhere,the same can be said of the clubs.
The JFF has to lead,I suggests the school boy league is at least 6 to 7 months,start it in August end it in Feb,let all finals be played on a Sat to increase viewership and crowd attendance,mandate that H.S coaches have the accredited B standard from one of our sports colleges e.g GC foster,mandate that the Club coaches have thje A standard.
We have it all in place,we dont need a white elephant of a building to sit for every 4 years ,its cheaper to rent facilities or co host with educational/sports institutions to develop disciplines in our cultural way.
