SCHOLARSHIPS

The Central Coast Academy of Sport (CCAS) Scholarship is a joint initiative between the Central Coast Mariners (CCM) and the CCAS. Scholarships are awarded via a trial system to the most outstanding 14 to 16 year old male footballers and the most outstanding 13 to 16 year old female footballers in NSW. The year round training program is based around the FFA National Curriculum and its long term goal is to launch young careers into the National Youth League, W League and beyond.

ELITE ACADEMY

The Central Coast Mariners Elite Academy is aimed at identifying the best 6 to 13 years boys and girls footballers in NSW. The Mariners Elite Academy will focus on the following:

FFA National Curriculum
Improving co-ordination, balance and flexibility
Improving all aspects of ball control (technique)
Developing game intelligence
Improving speed (starting, sprinting, reaction time)
Encouraging good sportsmanship, work ethic and behaviour (personality)
Promoting an exciting brand of football (developing confidence)
Demonstrating the transition from technical to tactical aspects of football.

SUMMER & WINTER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

The Central Coast Mariners Development Programs are aimed at all boys and girls from 6 to 13 years. These development programs are designed to show young players the foundation skills that are required to be a professional footballer.

HOLIDAY CLINICS

The Central Coast Mariners School Holiday Clinics are aimed at all boys and girls from 4 to 12 years who are looking for a fun filled Mariners experience! This high quality developmental program is jointly designed by the Mariners youth development staff and a specialist in primary PDHPE. To add to the atmosphere on the final day, all participants get to take part in a World Cup Competition. All participants receive expert coaching, a Mariners T-shirt and a drink bottle.

When we  charge this much you sometimes get the feeling it is also a way raising money... a bit like the old NSL clubs....

Most people know there are limited players of real excellence... we offer across a range of parks to most ages ... an academy ... HHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMmmmmm

Like Scholarship the word Academy is miss used... A scholarship is normally free ... an academy is normally for the talented ... We offer to anyone willing to fork out the coin a place for their child... in the [shadow=red,left]academy[/shadow]...

I do get the feeling we falsely advertise our Academy ... when in fact it is a revenue line number and if you can pay you can get in... with a few less expensive places put out as  scholarships...

I have no problem with the club raising money via running training and skills programs... I do have a problem with the language used ... it does add to the increasing disenchantment many are saying the local park teams and parents are starting to feel towards the Mariners...

A training and skills revenue stream is that and to call it an academy is stretching the rubber band to the extreme... you get away with it once even twice but by the fourth time .... well what can I say .. or maybe the club  believe it is an academy ...--- that would be a real worry ...

 

[tsd]

the naming of products is a big part of marketing, which would you fork out your hard earned for you kids to go to the "Mariners Elite Academy" or "kids football camp" or "beginner soccer training" etc

 

[Bex]

How about we call it "Manchester United Elite Academy Scholarship for Gifted Footballing Gods" then? I would much rather go to that.

Suits using false or miss leading names is not how you build a club .. it may slightly increase your revenue on the training ... but can loose you more revenue at the gate with people being pissed off and thinking we are a  money grabbing club prepared to say anything to get a ... "Oxford Scholar """ ... (pun Oxford Scholar is slang for a dollar ... and given people are paying for our Scholarship's ... clever .. well I think so)

Sounds similar to the misnomer that is "Coerver International Tour" If you have 10 grand spare you are part of the tour.

I have a child that plays for CCL.  He trialed for a spot in this as he was in it last year, and was cut. last year we were all just nominated via our club coaches and taken in.  This year seems very different as from feedback some received, is to come back for second trial, with only a few spots offered, to PYL players and also seems doesn't really matter where they reside or play.

I think chances are that not many will be selected from last year as it seems NEW coaches were told to only choose players with potential of ever becoming mariners.

Anyway my boy needs to go and work harder this time
