Busy week for National Tournaments

Evening all,

Late post and shout out to all the referees taking part and competing in the following National tournaments this week.  Given it's after midnight, I'm certain your all in bed already and most likely won't see this until next week.

School Sports Australia U/19 Football is being played at 3 venues across Sydney
Field 1 Lily Homes Stadium, 5 Quinn Avenue, Seven Hills.
Field 2 Sydney United Sports Stadium, 223-227 Edensor Road, Edensor Park.
Field 3 Valentine Sports Park – 235-237 Meurants Lane, Glenwood.

Games started on Sunday and will go through until Friday, round robin style.  Here's the draw but unlike the Qld event I don't expect any pictures as it has a low profile.  Local paper Blacktown Sun had this article in the leadup.  I have fond memories of the Valentine Sports Park, having attended National Titles there back in the day.

NTC Challenge is at the AIS in Canberra, commencing Monday - Friday.  

AIS Food Hall / Athletes Accom - Paul Smith 2014

This tournament has moved around in dates over the last few years and is the best young players from each state from their respective development academies and have been seen as the 2nd most important tournament for officials after National Youth Championships - girls were held in July and the Boys are in late October, both in Coffs Harbour.  NTC draw here, thanks to the good folk at Capital Football.

Further links from some of the state branches 

And to not forget them, the A-League / W-League / FIFA AR's officials get into serious preseason mode this weekend with their seminar also at the AIS 29 - 31 August.  The NTC crew might get a chance to say hi on their way out?
 
I'm hopeful some pictures of officials may appear via FB or state branches attending - happy to post online if anyone is kind enough to drop me a line.

Good luck to everyone taking part (referees, coaches, coordinators) and make the most of your chance to stake your claim as part of Future Elite.

Time for bed - any updates throughout the week I'll re-post here.
