About the U11 Next Step Zonal League
The aim is to divide the Gold Coast into 4 equally strong zones (refer to below for break-up) in the U11 age group, resulting in the best 56 to 60 players competing with each other approx. every 3rd Sunday for a total of 6 Sundays throughout the season proper.

The 4 teams will play at the same venue on the day, however this venue will change for each date allowing each zone to host at least one week.

Team Selection
Training Sessions will start in May and squads identified by end of May in each zone. Selection will be made by the coach of that zone provided the representative hold a minimum of a Youth Coaching licence. Teams will consist of a maximum of 14 players (or 15 if two GKs are selected) playing a minimum of half a game per match, with the preference being that players receive equal playing time.

Costs
Selected players will be charged a fee of $120, for which they receive approximately 30 hours of coaching and playing at a high standard and also get to keep their playing strips as a memento.

Training
The training of selected players is to be done once per week on Sunday mornings so as not to disrupt club matches or club training. Training will go for a maximum of 2 hours.

The positive results of this structure are seen as follows:
1. Would create an even competition for identified players
2. Would enable identified players from the smaller clubs to participate in games and teams of a higher skill level.
3. Would enable players to receive another style of coaching to that of their regular club coach
4. Talent identification becomes easier as the best 60 U11 players playing at the same venue on the same day
5. Will give young referees some quality games to strive for and adjudicate

It is important to remember as Clubs our role is to develop skills and to help children reach their full potential. We need to put all club differences aside to achieve this.
