Schoolboy football is not player development:Machel Turner

[Assasin]

Well don't argue with yourself no more - first sign of madness.

Happy new year.

would like to hear your answer if track and field is recreational.

[Rockman]

True, but nevertheless, a school is a place of instructions, whatever activities it participates should reflect that.
This isn't so much protecting the youths from getting exploited, cramping all the competitions in a very short period is exploitation, besides, corporations such as SportsMax are making profits ..
All I am saying, just like all the subjects there is some uniformity across the board, why isn't there a fixed arrangement for all school coaches to subscribe to?

[Sir X]

You are asking valid reasonable questions but you are neglecting the context,the constitution of ISSA states football is a recreational activity,an arguement can be made to extend the schedule based on potential detrimental effects to the youths physical/ mental health. Coaching education isnt a necessity under ISSA constitution. That responsibility is mandated by the JFF constitution;therefore it would behoove the JFF to use its bully pulpit and prod ISSA to extend the schedule while at the same time mandating coaches who play their trade in school boy football to upgrade their craft and follow a philosophy set forth by the JFF coaching technical committee. Certain sanctions can be used by the JFF against coaches who dont comply i.e ban them from coaching in all football competitions who comply with JFF constitution e g the RSPL and corner leagues.

[Rockman]

But aren't you talking through both sides of your mouth?
Therd should not be a demand for it to be regulated but then regulation is being suggested?
AGAIN, a school is a place of instructions, THAT should be reflected in everything it touches.

[Sir X]

No,I never said it should not be regulated, what I am saying is ISSA constitution i.e recreational gives it the platform to argue against regulations, therefore the pressure for ISSA to conform must come from an entity that can bear pressure to regulate i.e the JFF


Look presenting the context does not mean you are for it ,on the contrary, it's a means to examine to look for a way forward.

[Assasin]

Again I ask you, is Track and field also Extra curricular activity.

IF Football is extra curricular activity, how is it that any player playing for their school is not allowed to play with any other club??

Tom drunk but tom nuh fool.

[Sir X]

Yuh nuh fool, yuh mad.
