Finally football awakes!

the A-League champions are set to roll-out an historic free membership program for a large number of junior players aged 12 and under registered.

The potential breadth of reach is huge with figures supplied by Football NSW suggesting up to 100,000 kids could qualify for the offer in conjunction with one of the 14 member associations.

Branding the membership "Junior Branding the membership "Junior Blues", Lugt is excited by the possibilities but is taking a wait-and-see approach on how well it's received.

Frome the 442 website.

We know it should have been done years ago, but finally finally someone in football gets it.

Just because you play football doesn't mean you want to watch the big men. Especially if your mum or dad don't care about the game. So you have to build it, assist the link and encourage it.

It takes time, and now this is a great start. Well done Sydney FC.
