A good coach in NL1 is going to be better for a young player than a shit coach at NPL. Not to mention potential opportunity to play up not just one grade but higher. Rather be a 15 or 16ypo playing 1st grade which will be better to then get into an NPL senior team than just playing my age group in NPL.

Not sure what you mean by 12 and 13yo already are ready for NPL 1st grade
