Capital Football have a clear mission to spread the game, the joy of the game.
So when the recent Futsal teams were announced for the National Championships to be played in Canberra there were some interesting mutterings from around the local futsal scene.
Previously Capital Football has run the Cobras and Colts, two teams in all divisions.

Canberra Club members may have an opportunity to assist Australian player development. If history in the local clubland is anything to go by, there is no guarantee they'll do it -at least not without a fight!
Along time ago I was good enough to take on Mark Viduka and Craig Moore in football.

There still seems to be a lack of Technical Development in Aussie football - not perhaps for the chosen 12 kids in a High Performance Federation program but in the rest of the cohort - the other 99% of players.
Australia: Does anyone care?
If 12 and 13 year old boys and girls at ALL levels of the game are expected to play on the same field as our men - ie the biggest ones you can find - how do we expect the culture of the players, the watching parents and the small-sided games philosophy to actually take hold across the land.

It's Kanga Cup week and visitors have come from Sydney, Witsundays, NT, Tassie, NZ, Phillipines, Malaysia and Korea to name some of the 230 plus teams in Canberra this week.
It's cold, it always is in July in the Capital but two things have got my goat this week.
Lots of great football, cheery spirit and great comaraderie.

Canberra football (still) lacks vision and growth - add the FFA as well!

It was reaffirmed that Canberra's possible inclusion in the Hyundai A-League was postponed for the forseeable future. The idea of a separate, stand-alone Canberra team in the National Youth League was canvassed, but economic factors were identified as a major impediment at this stage

In no particular order:
1. Blatter out.
2. Capital Football to produce a vision, a plan for our boys post-15. (It is possible to make professional ranks despite missing out on the AIS or ACTAS - just not in Canberra football.)
An A-League Youth team, inspired but not run by Capital Football.

Now if you criticise Capital Football in Canberra you get chastised but sometimes someone needs to voice what many voices are saying.
What are the priorities for Capital Football going forward?
Let's start with the girls/women. The number one focus for Capital Footbal over the last few years - and seemingly into the future.

Frustrations abound with Capital Football, Canberra football, to achieve competitive football post-15 for our boys.
A boy coming out of 4 or 5 training sessions a week can go and train twice a week at the best Canberra Premier League clubs. Waste of time isn't it if you really want to push on as a player.

Fozzie: SOS. We need you in Canberra - can you help?

I'm serious about football, technical skill, education, kid development and abusing clerics in the Catholic Church...but hey that's another story!
When Capital Football the Peak Body in Canberra announce that u12 boys and girls will now play competitively, ie with results and league tables produced each week, I'm wondering on what criteria this could be considered beneficial to the development of players.

The fertile ground of football development known as Canberra continues to produce, over-produce quality players despite little FFA or Capital Football support or leadership for our post-15 age group - of boys.

The FFA might not want a team in the A-League from Canberra but Canberra will host up to seven games in the 2015 Asia Cup.
Fantastic.
Now show us how the FFA, Capital Football, ACT Government has any plan to use this huge and significant tournament to build the game either through a professional football team, a youth team and a legacy for the kids who play the game in Canberra.
