Get rid of the top heavy structure at present and allow it to be run from grass roots with talent identification rather than the constant cronyism that seems to exist at present.
Your post is 100% spot on, all kids in NPL Youth, with a training squad that is free so can be changed
Squad can train and come together for championships/nationals etc

Put the extra coaches into NPlL as well to give greater depth there

The whole game benefits !!!!!

But common sense will never prevail

To many ivory castles hey Mr Eland

Surly a conflict there ????

CEO of both organisations, one of which has naming rights but no financial input ????
