| Yeah, remember this. Ridiculous signing.
My eldest lad is 12 and to predict which players will make it (to the highest level) at that age would be difficult at best - if not impossible.

However, it still goes on, clubs approaching 12 yr olds giving them the "wink".
IIRC officially there is a "window" of when clubs can make scholarship offers, and a deadline day where players with more than one offer have to make a decision. That's at 14. I know clubs have to start somewhere but still seems a bit young to me, and causes all sorts of problems with the amateur teams.'"
How does it even work at that age? They sign a contract and get paid to do what, be trained by the club? They don't even do service area teams anymore do they?

they can't sign for any other team and they hold training sessions depending on the age they then will join in training with the under 16's. Its not usually money its usually freebies they get paid.

I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we knew

First year of scholarship is U15's. They don't get paid but are registered with that professional club by the RFL. They train usually twice a week, compete potentially with the U16's set up/league. They get physio and medical, nutrition advice, education, welfare, conditioning, 1:1 coaching etc etc. Whilst still training and playing for their amateur side. And doing their GCSE's!
Not sure about when/if they get to Academy.
Before that registration when clubs give the wink (which officially they aren't allowed to do), it's just a kind of verbal thing - nothing else.

23517.gif George Bush says 'we are losing the war on drugs'. Well you know what that implies? There's a war going on, and people on drugs are winning it! Well what does that tell you about drugs? Some smart, creative motherfookers on that side.":23517.gif |
