Message: [QUOTE="Big Del, post: 2843944, member: 9291"] AFL and Soccer spend a lot more money on grass roots . Aus kick comes to a lot of schools . Involves the parents and kids together . Lotsa kids 1st taste of ball sports is Aus Kick . ARL has done very little to combat this .For more than 10 years . Another issue is size for age . Islander kids mature faster . Not unusual to see 10 -12 yr olds of islander heritage who are twice the size of the Caucasians . That leads to not having fun playing footy . By the time the other kids catch up in size they have joined another sport . Warren Ryan suggested that this size difference is killing junior footy . He thought there should be weight classes rather than age divisions . Kids within 2-3 years age dif within the weight limits play together . [/QUOTE]
