AIS: To take in younger boys

The AIS farewelled Sydney FC bound Sam Munro today. You can hear Sam on the Nearpost tonight.

And Jan Versleijen, AIS Coach, outlines his plans for the future of the football programme at the AIS.

As the players are snapped up by the A-League Youth teams the current Under 20 squad becomes a camp based programme similar to European national youth sides. This is a significant change to the previous model which produced Mark Viduka, Craig Moore and Carl Valeri.

And the AIS will be bringing in younger players, 16-18 year olds in future as the game in Australia expands and develops.
