The fact they charged the same as other clubs? Cause as far as I'm concerned $650 is pretty average and on par or less than other NPL clubs that are fleecing juniors.
The fact some kids aged 13-17 gave up football? Maybe they just didn't like it? Maybe they didn't have the heart for it? One bad season and they give up, obviously weren't meant to play NPL.
I played at another club, one you have ties to, and their treatment of players/families in that particular team was worse than what you describe above. 4 of us continued to play NBN the year after at different clubs and the rest gave up after being treated like shit.
