Hi,


Can someone share with me your school football cca team? Does the cca require to stay back very frequent per week? Does this football cca require someone to be in pri school team then able to join? If one plays well, can he join?

My DS is good in soccer but his pri school doesn’t have cca soccer. He is interested to select sec school having football/soccer as cca.

VS is quite far from our home but there are not many good sec school with football/soccer as cca for junior high.

So I have hoping to get some feedback. Thanks for sharing.

My ds is not in football team but based on the 2014 cca trials schedule for sec/ip 1, there were 12 vacancies available for football earlier this year. That means any pupil with potential and interest can be selected.
Instructions on the trials will be disseminated to pupils in early Jan during school orientation. Please note that it is a 'cca with stringent selection criteria'.

I do not know how to interpret the full-field/half-field cca schedule for football but it could possibly be 3 times per week and additional training may be required during competition season.

Hope this info helps.

My son is a VS sportsman. He played his sport once a week for 1.5h in pri sch. His nbh pri sch does not participate in Nat competition. No coach and team is too small. Selected for competitive sport once he enters VS. ALL sports are competitive in VS so traing is v intensive for those sports that wins. His traing was 4x a week, became 6x closer to competition. Soccer is 5x traing. They do 'review' sports that r not performg.
I remembered my son was asked to join soccer in sec2 although he was in another sport. He was also asked to join discus/javelin traing. He declined bcos I will 'kill' him. Sports teams in VS r on the lookout for talent all yr round not just in Sec1.
