Misguided Parent Making Up the Numbers

Yeah mate because winning the $2.50 medallion for being U13 champions is what youth football is all about right? What a ridiculous comment you make! Some people (parents) who chase youth glory might be attracted to these 4 ‘stand out’ clubs but isn’t development of the individual player more important? Do you think an individual player will necessarily develop better by being in a winning team? I would argue that they will learn more by having to overcome adversity. At least one of these amazing clubs you mention have a policy of not playing kids up an age while many of the clubs not in these 4 you refer to do indeed promote youth players. You are really missing the point of youth NPL if you think winning is the name of the game.
