A chain of new websites, interlinked to provide better news service, records of matches and playing strength, will give a clearer picture of the code, Chisholm. Says.
"Football South is in the process of changing over from its two present websites to a new one which will provide better coverage and services for everyone," Chisholm said.
"Working with the other traditional media outlets, we hope to give faster access to a greater spread of information. The new website will allow individual input from areas such as Southland, South Canterbury and and even smaller areas, such as Queenstown and Wanaka."
Certainly, the wide geographical area of Football South needs good communication to publicise tournaments, coaching courses, visits by touring teams, and the creation of a complete player database will help track the progress of young talent.
Today's Football South matches at Tahuna Park are likely to have a broad spread of young aspirants from that database, trying to break into the Southern Premier League.
Several former New Zealand Football Championship players are opting to recharge their batteries with time off, before the SPL starts in April, and striker Aaron Burgess is a case in point.
Burgess has been playing top football for over 18 months and sensibly is giving his body a rest, as are several other senior players.
So the door is open for young players to impress coaches. Many have already had time off the bench, but good performances now could clinch regular places in the SPL.
After last week's matches, unbeaten sides are Mosgiel, Technical, Roslyn-Wakari, and Green Island, with Caversham unusually placed among the also-rans. Caversham is likely to field a stronger combination this week against Northern in the 12.45pm kick-off at Tahuna Park. Under new coaches David Martin-Chambers and John Wilkinson, Northern's squad is a new mix and the coaches are content so far to watch and assess.
The other early game at Tahuna is between Green Island and Mosgiel, a fixture that usually produces sparks, and after a combined total of seven goals last week, it should be an entertaining match.
Another two winning sides clash at 2.45 pm, when Roslyn and Technical front up.
Some new faces are likely to play for both sides but bragging rights are also important for these two clubs.
University's new coach Alan Bain has the traditional nightmare of pruning his squad of over 40 players down to manageable proportions for the Grants Braes 2.45pm match.
No such problem for Braes coach Alan Laidler, who survives on crumbs, yet last week there were long passages of play against Roslyn in which the Braes side was more than competitive, and he will back a firm team shape and discipline to upset the students.
