FFT Funding

Has the FFT made the right moves with the funding received from the Tasmanian Government so far?

The Board of Sport and Recreation Tasmania has agreed to fund the following:

1. Employment of part-time Development Officers,
2. Junior Association Grants,
3. Statewide Coach & Referee Seminars,
4. Subsidised Coaching Courses for Junior Associations, and
5. Club Administration Courses.

What could they further do with the surplus funding?

FFT Headquarters

Should the FFT move from its existing headquarters at KGV? If so, where would be suitable?

Recent Meeting

Brian has informed me that there was a meeting of all the Southern Presidents last week, does anybody know of any developments that resulted from the meeting?

I have heard it can be difficult for some Presidents to push their ideas ...

New National Regulations

By popular demand, what are your thoughts on the new National Regulations put forward by the FFA that take place on January 1st? (Can be downloaded from the FFA website, www.footballaustralia.com.au). Although they seem quite necessary and applicable for most clubs, Trevor is right in saying that it will only increase the amount of total work club volunteers are committed to completing!

More discussion on this topic can also be found at Blackjack's blog; www.tasfootball.plebian.net.

Statewide Social Cup

Could the FFT possibly revive the Social Cup, except this time include the Northern Social competitors as well? Therefore, creating a social version of the Statewide Cup. Not only a fun trip away for the lads, but invovling more players statewide?

Summer League

If the FFT goes ahead with a Summer League will they open up the summer competition to both the Premier League and Division 1 as it used to be? Otherwise they may be short on numbers?!
