ISSA Football - Matches are too frequent!

[Time]

Excelsior coach said they played last Thursday, Saturday and have a match next Monday. Wolmer's will play next Thursday (HT) , next Saturday (JC) and following Monday (JC.) ISSA seems to have forgotten that this is not a professional football league. The education Minister needs to tell ISSA to cut the scrap! When do these boys study school work? Do they go to classes? Are these boy properly conditioned so that they have a real chance to recover within 48 hours?

Prep schoolers play Monday Thursday Saturday usually

Prep Schoolers, where?

I've been saying this for years now, it's gotten even worse since the flow cup. There is no need to conclude all competitions by the end of November. Not only is it tough to manage the academics with the grueling schedule but when does a coach get the time to rest players after a tough game, then go over mistakes made in the previous game and also prepare tactically for the next. I don't think the schedule allows for real development.

But hey Issa is not about development.

Super Cup run di cut now....Walker & Ben Francis are now SuperFluous sideshows taking up too much limited time/space/physical resources

Walker Cup should be scrubbed...or have it as a competition for 2nd tier teams in order to qualify for Manning Cup in a 2 tier school league

The 4 Walker Cup semi-finalists would be qualified for the top tier (or 3 qualifiers with a 3rd place vs 4th place playoff) Manning Cup...and similarly for Ben Francis...as a qualifier for D'Cup

That's how JA creates better continuous renewal...via promotion & relegation...and better teams playing each other more often. Struggling teams should be matched with like...and prove themselves before moving up

D1 dun show unnu long time how dis skool ball ting could be restructured to have MUCH better play...and better players as key outcomes

It's really not difficult

It is relatively speaking given the age .... it is a bit much. Pros play twice a week tops

This is what I was thinking. Either retire the Walker Cup and the Ben Francis Cup or amend their names and hand then them over to two B leagues. However that may be seen as disrespectful to Mr Walker and Col. Ben Francs. The Oliver Shield also need to go.

Unuh can tan deh,Super Cup etc are clever ways of companies aligning their brand names with schoolboy football whilst having total control of the terms.I,suspect what we are seeing is the commercialization of our youths.

Consider that the way to get advanced tickets is to purchase credit for FLOW telephones

Olivier Shield has gravitas, value & history to enable coronation of the ALL ISLAND CHAMPIONS...and only 2 games @ end of season

So you're comprehensively wrong of course

With the Super Cup runnin' di place as a knockout competition...Walker & Ben Francis are mostly a distraction

How high minded of you

So are YOU willing to help raise the money to fund football competitions?

Or perhaps hould companies that put up funds to do so...do it for charity??

Suh a lickle exploitation de yutes or the potential for it is acceptable as long as the exploiters are seeminly a viable source of fundings for development?

Explain how yutes are being "exploited" please. This is a weird argument I don't understand

In explaining please identify any benefits yutes get when they and their football competitions are "exploited" by sponsor cash

Didn't even know that,thanks!
