Surprised CCU didn't attain Gold. Big variation in prices seems you need at least $900-$1200 got to wonder what those charging signifcantly more are doing with it

Of course are those down towards the $900 not including their uniform kit and you put on an extra $200.

What does gold, silver and bronze mean?

What does gold, silver and bronze mean?

It means you filled in some paperwork that makes it look like you do a better job. In reality, it means very little.

Wrong on your second point. I can confirm that the club that I am involved with is in the $900s and includes everything. I am also aware that one in the mid $1000s excludes clothes.
The fees submitted were supposed to be the full price and from what I have heard, nearly all clubs complied.

Certain requirements must be met, certainly more than just filling in some forms that Bronze makes out to be

Was a question rather than a statement of fact.

Which one?

No worries. There was no ?
As to which one...let's leave it at a current NPL club

Doesn't surprise me

[Barry Dawson]

These $$$ are misleading - a number of clubs then add on the $$$ associated with clothing and apparel etc. this is sometimes upwards of $350

Gold status let's a club have 2 JDL teams doesn't it...compared to the other levels

That's correct, except for this transition year where Bronze and Silver are allowed 2 if they had 2 in 2024

Good on the clubs that qualified for gold status.It will be interesting to see if that drives parents and kids to them.Having said that,theres more than a few bronze clubs that I would be more than happy to have my child at after seeing the way they coach their kids over the past few years.

When a club that has “silver” status is still looking for multiple coaches the criteria isn’t worth the fancy pamphlet it’s printed on.

Glad someone else noticed that too! Very frustrating when some clubs are clear and transparent, and others say they are yet demonstrate the opposite.

In the preseason cup, our (NLFC) 16 and 18 boys have night games in rounds 1 and 3.

6:15pm kickoff for 16s, with 18s kicking off at 7:30pm.

What club is advertising for coaches?

[Barry Dawson]

Not sure how that works - to get beyond Bronze, I thought you had to have all coaches locked in for 2025 at the time of submission in October.

You do, what happens when a coach comes in late November and says, "sorry my job has shifted me to Afternoon shift so I can no longer coach"? Now the club was correct in what they said, and should be given some leeway to correct, but should only give them a couple months and then downgrade them.

You actually need coaches for Bronze as well.
