Its nice to know that there are lots of grassroots development tournaments. However, its bad to hear that there are only a few number of professional club-level tournaments. There is no place for these youngsters to showcase their talents when they grow up. The area is too limited. Anyway, we hope that these people continue until the professional level. Actually, I have a proposal to make. How about build professional clubs then let these clubs fund their own grassroots development?

Little Azkals meet big brothers in one-on-one clinicCebu Daily News 6:42 am | Saturday, May 28th, 2011 MEMBERS of the Philippine Under 13 (RP U13) training pool tagged as the “Little Azkals” will meet the Azkals today in a one-on-one clinic organized by the Cebu Football Association (CFA) for boys 12 under at the Aboitiz Sportsfield in Subangdaku Mandaue City. CFA president Richard Montayre said meeting the Azkals would serve as an inspirational send-off for the Little Azkals who will leave for Malaysia on Monday for the AFC U13 Festival of Football on June 1 to 7. Prior to their meeting with the Azkals, the Little Azkals will undergo a one-hour training. They will then give way to the participants of the free clinic which will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Meanwhile, Montayre said the CFA has taken over the management of the Little Azkals after DRBSports withdrew its support to the team which is undergoing a training camp at the Don Bosco Boys Home in Liloan, Cebu. Montayre in his capacity as head of the grassroots and youth development committee of the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) has also assumed as the team’s manager. The team’s training costs around P600,000 with a P150,000 subsidy from the PFF. The team’s uniform and shoes will be provided by Mizuno as part of Mizuno’s contract with the PFF while the AFC is allocating $5,000 in airfare subsidy.

Germans boost PFF grassroots programBy Cedelf P. Tupas Philippine Daily Inquirer 12:21 am | Friday, June 10th, 2011 MANILA—The Philippine Football Federation will embark on a long-term grassroots program with the goal of reaching the Under-17 Fifa World Cup in 2018. PFF president Nonong Araneta told the Inquirer that the German Football Association (DFB) has agreed to help the PFF map out a feasible program to develop young players. Araneta met with DFB officials last week in Frankfurt after attending the Fifa Congress in Zurich, Switzerland. The PFF chief said the DFB will be sending a representative to the country late this month to make an assessment of the PFF’s programs. “We can’t just say that we want to improve our grassroots program,” said Araneta. “We need to have a specific goal, and that is to make the Under-17 World Cup.” Araneta said the target of the program will be 7- and 8-year-old players who will be eligible by the time the country joins the qualifying stage of the Under-17 World Cup. Part of the plan is to come up with elite football centers for young players. Araneta is optimistic the partnership with the Germans will yield results, pointing out that the DFB also embarked on a program in 2002 to produce a successful national team transition. The players in that program, like Mesut Ozil, were instrumental in helping Germany reach the semifinal of the 2010 World Cup. Araneta’s optimism is also spurred by the case of Southeast Asian minnows Timor Leste, whose Under-17 team is now making strides in Asia. It lost to powerhouse Japan by a mere 0-1 score.

I was wondering how Araneta's trip to Germany went. The Germans tried something similar back in the 90's, but we weren't ready back then. Now we could take advantage of their expertise to improve our football from the grassroots level and up. They will need funding for this elite centers though. Will the Germans help with that? I also think it would be a good idea to have a German technical director as well so all the various programs will be in synch. Besides they have a reputation for organization that is unrivaled in the sports world.
That is how Timor Leste got better. They had Brazilians setting up their various programs. They are also actively looking for players abroad esp. in Portugal, and Brazil where a lot of their diaspora went, to add to their national team.
With Germany's help and with our bigger population base to choose from, I think we can do better. Now that the Germans can see, we are serious about getting better at football, they will not hesitate to help us.

do you also have something like that in the philippines: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eingetragener_Vereinimo thats the base of the whole structure in germany, else it would be a chaos of organization. everything is very strict and regulated, like all things in germany but else it won't work. in the philippines it looks like for me: "we believe, lets start!!", but not everyone knows the correct direction.

Raul you hit the nail on its head.
Lack of Direction, No Infrastructure and you can clearly deduct when you read Officials statements/comments in the press crapping on and on and also the media being either naive or merely doing what is done in Philippines and that is "the more ass you kiss the longer you live" or why risk your job and be honest instead of covering up and only criticise after the guy has lost his job or is not involved anymore... Also don’t forget that the same corrupt and scummy incompetent regional federation’s heads that propped up Martinez for all these years are still there pulling strings in the PFF so what can you expect? Not to much I guess.
Basketball is a perfect example of it:
Despite almost everybody playing and or supporting the game in Philippines despite huge amount of sponsorship money being spent on it, the Philippine national team is achieving nothing and the pathetic excuse you often hear "the Filipinos are not tall enough that is why" what a load of crap!
But the truth why the Filipinos underachieve in Basketball is because of Lack of Direction, bad organisation, poor grass roots setup and support with thousands of poor talented kids being overlooked and preference given to the middle class and rich kids because that is the way Philippines operates Is not what you know but who you know or how much money you have....
Now back to football. the game in Philippines is played mainly by the middle class and the rich with the poor people ignored and the PFF have no plan or idea how to overcome this major problem football faces with basketball being the sport played by the majority of the kids therefore the sport is only played and understood by maybe 10% of the population minimising the depth of talent coming through the ranks with 90% ruled out and potential superstars missing out on realising their potential.
It remains to be seen how positive and meaningful to football the current Azkals popularity will have even if the game will become more popular I doubt the PFF has any idea how to harness and seize the moment. Hope I am wrong for footballs sake as this is their oportunity.

I read an article by M. Limpag (Sun Star) talking about grassroots program. I hope it would be successfully implemented.

Have a question (this may be a dumb one) but just want to know:
How can the Azkals' subs/bench improve in their skills? Naisip ko lang ito kase in the 1st leg of Kuwait game, coach Weiss didn't use those in the bench to sub the players who were obviously very fatigue near the end of the match. It showed the coach's lack of trust in the bench players' skills.
So my questions are: 1. How can they (subs) improve aside from getting exposure in tournaments or international training? 2. Should they be spending more hours in practice than the regular first team to catch up on their skills?
Thanks.

Hi guys, football news from the province... U23 champs banner Ceres vs Pachanga today
Saturday, August 6, 2011 MEMBERS of the recent Philippine Football Federation-Suzuki U23 National Cup champion Negros-Ceres team will front the Ceres Section as it goes up against visiting Pachanga Football Club of the United Football League in a goodwill match set 3pm today at the Panaad Park and Stadium in Barangay Mansilingan, Bacolod City. Among these U23 team mainstays are keeper John Robert Mendoza, Aldrin Dolino, Jason Cordova, Jose Emmanuel Diel, Fil-Am Joshua Beloya, J Baguioro, Joven Bedic, Carlo Tacusalme, Camelo Tacusalme and Gino Palomo. Also in the squad are commercial league players keeper Michael Casas, Fredrick Jan Serios, Eliseo Palomo Jr., Rolando Ian Treyes, Hemerson Campp, Ruben Doctora, Jelsor Soriano, Archie Familiar and Patrick Martir. The Ceres team will be mentored by Fredie ‘Nene’ Lazarito, assisted by Ali Go and Ramon Janeo. Leo Rey Yanson will be the team’s manager. According to Janeo, this goodwill match is part of Pachangas’ preparation for the upcoming tournament in the United Football League (UFL), the country’s biggest commercial football league. Pachanga FC is headed by its chairman Freedy Razon Gonzalez. Janeo stressed that this is a great opportunity for football fanatics in Bacolod as well as in the province to witness top caliber games featuring home team Ceres and the visiting squad from UFL. Pachanga FC is one of the eight teams vying for the title in the first Philippine Football Federation (PFF) Smart Clubs Championships scheduled August 9-13. The success of the regular 9-a-side football tournaments, bankrolled by the Yanson brothers and played at the Ayala North Point pitch in Talisay City, has gained the respect of Manila-based football squads seeing action in the UFL. Among the top teams in this league are Kaya Futbol Club, Global Smartmatic, Air Force Rider and Army Fritz Macziol IBM, the mother clubs of several members of the Philippine Men’s Football Team-Azkals.
