One question I would have is the cost of coaching education. This needs to reduce. Germany has something like 1 B licence coach for every 200 people of population. Reducing the cost and increasing participation in coaching courses would go along way to increasing the standard.
Good idea that but just like everything in this country courses are run to make money and be a cash cow for those running it.

Re done First Aid course a couple of months ago. $175 down the drain for something I have done 4 times prior. Basically a rort to make money.

Football coaching should be dirt cheap through subsidies from the FFA etc as the results benefit the entire code yet the governing bodies limit the access to it by having excessive prices and schedules that only the really committed will embrace
