Some interesting conclusions in this report if people haven’t seen it.

I came across this and thought it was a great idea - North Rocks Soccer Club in Sydney offer to refund playing registrations to any adult player who coaches one of their Junior teams with no blood relatives in the squad. Seems a great incentive to get people with playing experience (and who might be interested in coaching, but no real incentive to do it) to put their hand up and coach kids. Any clubs in the Newcastle / Lake Macquarie area offer something similar?

NF re-advertising the TD gig - now called "Football Manager". Same hrs and $$ as the TD advert but they dropped the clinics and summer NET frm the job. Main NET still there which is good.
The more time a kid spends with a ball at their feet the faster they will develop. That tip was for free but I am planning to write a book about the knowledge I have gained in the sport.
Very Interesting read around the cost of football:

Who is responsible for the Jets kids NNSW or Jets? Now that football trials have started again there is so much talk about kids quitting and going back to Clubs and the following merry go round which includes people not wanting to play for the Jets if asked.
Why on earth is there a 'NNSW Facilities Fund Contribution' on top of the levy already paid to NNSW. Why should families (many living 100s of kms from Speers points) that just have their kids playing for pure fun and wholesome exercise be paying for the facilities at Speers Point?? It's pure arrogance.

FA turds taking any $ is just shear arrogance. Socceroo's must be financed from top down. Community football does not need Northern. Northern charge like a wounded bull for any assistance including coaching courses anyway. Our juniors deserve better than this.
As for clubs, some are way over the mark. Others just scrape by. NL have always slugged their kids the most.

Yup, New Lambton and Valentine should deservingly be copping some questions from parents.
My kids miniroos club charged $180 which was inclusive of paying for game leader fees, uniform & the end of season presentation & trophy costs.
So $180 without a single extra cost through the season.
I know some of the clubs that charge very low fees will then have follow on costs additional to registration.

U15s had to rebuild. So they will need some time. 13s 14s 16s are decent squads. 18s had a bad loss 1st up.
There are also players who initially declined to play and no cannot get in.
Granted, It isnt a great setup right now but some clubs talk hard to retain quality players for their own results then to lose them.
