Sometimes it is easier to be critical than to be correctOk we could blame - point fingers and be critical of those who are being paid and in charge of the direction of our football programs, but what if, just what if we were to collectively add our input as de facto ' scouts' finding potential players, contacting players encouraging participation this adding to the player pool of potential talent for our respective teams.
As there are many TnT nationals across the globe and yuh know how we like to connect with people who know someone from somewhere inTnT or some one who haveTnT blood lines, let's put this to use and see what we could dig up in the next couple of months - this does not preclude the locals who may know of a diamond in the rough.
Iwould like to also propose that the TTFA look for sponsors who may want to expand their brand internationally and along with TNT affiliated Associations which exist in most large urban centres , host some' open camps' inviting potential players for tryouts. These camps could be regional camps - where the players pay a nominal fee to participate. Imagine camps in - Eastern USA mid -west Southern and West. Replicate this iin Canada and the in pRts of Europe.
Or through this forum as many have been doing, people as they discover potential players, pass the names forward with a little insight about the player.
