Progress since ‘82<br />
A commonly asked question just now, is<br />
“What progress has there been in the game<br />
since the All Whites last qualified for the<br />
World Cup Finals 28 years ago?”<br />
The inference is - not much!! We missed<br />
the boat and have languished in the doldrums<br />
and perhaps gone backwards since ?<br />
Well, two important facts stand out that indicate that some fairly big steps have<br />
been made<br />
First, the current All Whites squad were all born or grew up in NZ, in<br />
contrast to the ’82 team which contained a high percentage of “imported” or<br />
“nationalised” talent.<br />
Second, according to SPARC, <strong>Football</strong> is now the biggest participation<br />
sport in NZ<br />
There is now a better base from which to take the game forward with the<br />
Whole of <strong>Football</strong> Plan and really build a football culture in NZ. The rugby culture<br />
built up around the All Black brand has been the dominant force in NZ’s sporting<br />
history. It’s a difficult act to follow but a challenge we’ve all got to be up for - with<br />
NZF providing plenty of incentives along the way for our homegrown talent.<br />
Otago Age Group Trials<br />
Otago Age Group Trials were on at the Oval today ( Sunday 6th <strong>June</strong> )<br />
from 11th grade to 16th grade. The emphasis was on small sided games, to give<br />
the players the best chance to show their wares. I noticed quite a few ex- senior<br />
players among the parents on the sidelines, surely a good sign that the football<br />
culture we need is developing.<br />
Peter Ritchie and Terry Phelan led an enthusiastic band of coaches and<br />
assessors - with large numbers in the younger grades rialling.<br />
Hopefully, in listing those present I don’t miss anyone out ( if I do, please<br />
accept my apologies) -<br />
Coaches included:- Matthew Holdridge, Eric Stephenson, Sally Hicks, Chris Pike,<br />
Eddie Dykstra, Terry Parle,<br />
Mike McGarry, Al Laidler, Corey<br />
Sutherland<br />
Assessors:- Peter Ritchie, Terry<br />
Phelan, Dave Martin-<br />
Chambers, Shane Carvell,<br />
Colin Thom, Tim Horner,<br />
Richard Murray, James<br />
Waggett, Mike Clark, Rob<br />
Mitchell, Bill Chisholm<br />
Trials are on again<br />
next weekend.<br />
