Every chance I get I let the association know our experiences.

To be honest, I don't know what can be done. I certainly don't have any solutions. It becomes a bit of a snow ball effect though, the bigger the club gets the more cash they have which translates into better facilities and often paid coaching directors. This in turn attracts more kids and on it goes.

I can see why parents go take their kids to these clubs. But I don't think it is in the long term best interest of the game locally.
