woodville couldn't field a side this year what is different

No YL 3-5 to monday.

Seiors 4 - 8 Wednesday

YL1-2+Sen1-2 Tuesday

But BSA opened YL with the cry of it being the best of the "non-ABA" competitions. SURELY they wouldn't then make a decision that flies in the face of that!?

Why we still don't have an under 20 comp is beyond me

Because the women's competition was 6 teams, barely.

And BSA wanted to move 12 2s and 14 2s to Fridays and didn't have the court space for Under 20s as well.

I think you will find out that these decisions were made in conjunction with the clubs. It is what the clubs wanted.

It is not what the clubs wanted.

Clubs wanted Div 3 senior moved to Wednesday nights. but BSA wouldn't do it.

Clubs also wanted the Premier League season length shortened. That didn't happen either.

No, a couple of clubs wanted it shortened others were happy with the current timings. Also debate on number of games. Based on all input and discussion with clubs final outcome was set.

Try again!!

Are you seriously trying the say the clubs WANTED YL and D2 seniors on the same night? Which would reduce the number of teams and lose players? Are you serious?

Reserves and Division 3 are to be the second and third best competition out side of the 'premier league'. Youth league division 1 and 2 will be a feeder competition for u23 and U18 players not ready for the seniors competition. Youth league division 3+ is for people who obviously won’t make premier league and aren’t at all already for seniors.


Instead of whinging, clubs should look above self-interests and see how they can improve their internal structures to retain youth league and senior players. Obviously changes have been made, so now it’s up to the clubs...

anon #108 - Yes I am saying the majority wanted that

Again,

BSA proposed needing both teams to be fielded to qualify for Premier League. The clubs said this is impossible, especially on Women's side and in the end BSA reverted to one competition which was Div 2. The U23/1's comp is now a far cry from where it started. You have Premier League players running around where many of them are not performing anywhere near their capability. Div 2 focus will give a better overall competition.

Woodville had problems before this change while I'm sure North can field both.

BB,

Your point regarding burnout was one of the items considered in putting both comps on same night in conflict with each other. It also helped with having combined meaningful PL trainings

BSA going directly against what they brought in and spruked 5 years ago with the introduction of Youth League. Just a joke of an organisation.

Change of staff, change of leader change of philosophy.

Simple really.

Same CEO.

And BSA has never had any long term plan. Its always been just a short term band aid depending on who they talk too the most recently.

never said anything about the CEO. Decision was made above him.

The CEO was in charge of organising what nights which grades play on. Not theccommission. They merely set the new Premier League to have Wednesday night games creating the need for change.

Agreed, sadly proving the point that there is no stable, long term thinking in this organisation.
