Big 5 is to determine the promoted teams to the premier division.

The zones continue to run like long time, is just that they create the national premier league to run at the apex of the pyramid.
The premier division teams do not participate in Big 5 anymore.

And @Deeks, intercol will run at the end of the league season and Big 5.

Asked whether he knows if he will be in charge again against Hull on Wednesday night, Lawrence said: “What I would like to do today is enjoy some Nandos and think about Wednesday when it comes.

Haha. DL feeling de call of a peri peri sauce.    Last time ah recall Nandos getting trumpeted on this forum was ... FF? Probably 8 to 10 years ago?

Good morning Preacher,

High school ball can be unforgiving, especially with the schedule. Several games a week and they train everyday. Is that the case with you?
Have you put any consideration into managing the girls physical and cognitive load.
In theory, the high school season leaves only time for recovery and preparative sessions between games. Especially if your team is dominated by vertical runners.

As asylum said you want to have an idea as to your game model and what can be realistically achieved in the short season. Maybe it is that you are setting a bedrock with the younger girls in preparation for the next season. Again balancing the expectations of the players and parents with results.

Hey all,

I recently started coaching football in the USA. Started with an assistant role and this year I took a leadership role with a girls team. I felt I would start a thread like this for other coaches to share their experiences, philosophies, and method. The biggest issue I'm dealing with is kids not willing to take instruction and their attitude of learning. They play for these summer/traveling "clubs" but they can't trap, have no positional awareness, very little skill, only speed and strength, very low technical ability. What do you do in these situations, do you use the Insideout coaching method or do you use the prescription where the coach shows/tells you them to do?

Thanks

Welcome to the coaching ranks Preacher.

Kudos to you for stepping up and looking to make a difference and also having an open mind to solicit advice.
Can you give some more detail on the team and environment? What age group? Level of competition, commitment, how often they train etc

No manager could motivate such a bunch of idiots,most clueless, like it was the first time they ever stepped on a football pitch.The first thing I saw as everybody else,was the line of defenders Bahamas employed.We didn't even try to attack from the flanks,try and pull them out,we just tried once or twice,every attack was from the middle which suited Bahamas down to the ground,it just went on and on.We try the attack from the middle and they just tighten up their defence,didn't we have wingers,seems like it.
This match against St.Kitts should where our rebuilding starts,drop every man who was incapable of beating the 2nd or 3rd worst team in the world,all dem can do is pose and pretend to be footballers,most ah dem too big fuh dem boots,drop them all and start again.

I saw dwain Muckette fouled in the box and instead of falling on his face he continued the attack, straight penalty had he only went down, this is why i constantly cry my guts out that these guys have no quality, neymar, christiano, pulisic, mbappe, even molino was going down sprawled out and a penalty would be given, it seem like the only attackers that we have who knows how to dive is molino and telfer, had it been telfer we wouldn’t be having this conversation. our team lack quality from back to front.

This you? 

all I’m saying is that we don’t need to exceed expectations by out scoring the other three teams in the group, a win would be fine in both games. but if we manage to drub bimini then fine, I’ll take it, but there are people like ffisback who’s gonna come after the game crying on the lads just because we kept a modest score line and didn’t out do everyone’s goal tally, this is the nonsense that can be a demotivating factor. and BTW there are quite a few players who browse the website from time to time.

No evidence so far that the bureau council decided anything on T&T today. Read into that what you may

On to the full congress 

https://www.fifa.com/who-we-are/news/2020-fifa-congress-live-streaming

Scroll down and open the Agenda for tomorrow's congress. The fourth matter on the agenda is
" Suspension or expulsion of a member".

Maybe this is something that is always part of it.

If we are suspended, and DJW is charged, this case will be going in front of the CAS.

Anything FIFA does to TT at this point, is going to look as a retaliatory. Especially when the time comes for the handcuffs to be slapped on to DJW.

Yes indeed that is a standing item

Seems like the technical quality of the golf stroke declined as the questioning evolved. That last one was more weed-wacking and escapist than finesse.

In terms of imagery, a golf course is probably one of the last places yuh would want to be fielding questions about hidden money yuh supposedly know nothing about.

It sends such an encouraging message to those players who are starving or on unpaid starvation wages or unpaid match $.

yow! I swore that his strength left his body on that last shot, that’s how guilt ridden the man was. I’m sure when he went home he had to change his draws because of the stains after that encounter  , what a fat wanker he is.

If the police was doing their jobs they would have been on this already and had a wire tap waiting for him after this. Because I can imagine the frantic calls and texts he would have made on the car ride home

We might has well have been banned these past five years under DJW. There was no women's program. We did not compete in Olympic qualifying, we did not compete in Concacaf champions league because of licensing failures by DJW. We barely compete in youth competition.

But these jackasses braying now. Sancho and them only care about their own self interest. f**king shameful
