$350 is a joke.

It's $160 at south Cardiff for u6s, tell your sister to lay of the gear, 😂Originally Posted by Hunter403
I think that reply was to the U/14's $250 quote. Unsure of the $350 club
Yeah your right, sweet
$350 for a six year old?
Our club is charging $155, no one pays over $225 until you hit All Age.
Local councils are implementing new lighting fees for any clubs doing upgrades. You are getting charged a flat fee per light globe per hour.
Over last 2 years Jaffas and New Lambton have both been whacked with 5 figure increases in their lighting costs. Obviously being bigger clubs with more teams therefore more training nights etc they are the extreme examples.
It's flowing down into regos. From memory New Lambton went from $160 to $220 or so for juniors. .
Maybe martin Lee can step in with some energy discounts? Baird probs sold the poles and wires to his bro in law anyways
I play at belswans and the 5-7yo is $115. Pretty sure they keep it low because it's not a big drawing area
6's & 7's should be $under $100. This is where we get people into the game, they dont use lights and hardly touch the pitch at 20mins each way
Should be $20 a year
****ing take it off the HAL players to subsidise it
I'm hearing you. I'm pretty sure the league,union and afl kids are considerably less than football clubs charge.....the problem is the money filters up from grassroots to the Socceroos when it should filter down. Tv rights and the like should subsidies the grassroots to continue to flood the market with kids.
No, we pay the electricity bill.
This x 1000
We have so many " so called " elite teams , academies and youth development squads it has become a joke. Don't expect those running the game either at a national or local level to address the issue because as long as this sell the dream approach remains too much money is being raked in by those very organisations.

im talking about clubs with recent upgrades to their lighting.

Gotta pay for the new Speers Point facility don't we? Plus alllllllllllllll the staff that 'sit' in there on a daily basis.....like I said 'clowns running the circus', but they know everything...just ask them!
Just look at the ridiculous prices they are charging.

NNSW have never been about development. All about $$$$ and old timers who never ever made it now throwing their weight around thinking they're bigger than Ben Hur...the joke that was and always will be...NNSW Football
Hard to argue with anything you have said, however if you look at the break up of where the money from registration goes (most clubs will supply this) the proportion to NNSW isn't the largest part. From memory as I don;t have the paperwork in front of me, the NPL registration for my boy has a $75 fee to NNSW. The majority goes to the club to pay all those first graders!Gotta pay for the new Speers Point facility don't we?

Don't misunderstand me, I agree wholeheartedly the NNSW is a comedy routine that is no longer funny. The whole place needs an enema.
If we want to get kids fees down, stop paying part time footballers or past it ex full time players. Let 'em play for the love of the game or as many would say "to give something back".
Whilst we are on the topic of rego fees why is it compulsory to carry insurance? If you have private health cover then why do you require this on top? Most of the sporting insurance is ridiculous and covers jack shit anyway. I had to jump through hoops upon hoops to get anything claimed for my injury all for them to tell me they cant repay any costs that are already covered by medicare or private health. Which was all of it..
My brother went through a similar process to try and claim anything through it. Most also won't cover any lost work until after you have already used all available leave. And if you get to that stage then it doesn't even cover your wage, its something like a couple hundred a week. Pretty much a rort.
All those expenses that the insurance does cover is also only paid out on a refund basis in other words don't hand them a bunch of unpaid medical invoices you need to pay them up yourself and claim back. From memory going back a few years now it was 80% and up to 5k. Yes you must seek to use up any or all of your private insurance first and they will not pay out on a particular item where a medicare item number exists. I think every paying parent or adult participant SHOULD be provided with a HARD COPY of this insurance policy given its questionable exclusions at the time of purchase ie registration. All players and parents need to be aware just how badly out of pocket they could be should they be seriously injured playing the game and in particular a injury with ongoing expenses not just the immediate attention required such as reconstructions etc.
Also i vaguely recall something about the insurance was brokered through a mob in Victoria and QBE at the time was the ultimate insurer. I remember at the time thinking about all this insurance business and reckoning that participants should be given the option at registration time to take up insurance via the registration process or go away and shop around for there own similar policy from other insurers and perhaps by default create competition and drive that component of registration down.
I am more than happy to be proven wrong/corrected but to the best of my knowledge this whole insurance business was a national arrangement and i guess with such a captive market arrangement you got to wonder just what and if " legally " they refer to them as rebates are involved ???????.
My whole experience re this insurance business goes back the best part of 5 yrs now so i am more then happy to be corrected if a have made any errors.

How many of these elite programs produce any players of quality? My guess would be no more than a hand full...probably less. It shows in the results of the junior national teams....bloody rubbish.
The last few generations of players in this he national set up, before the current group, didn't have these elite programs....they played as teenagers in reserve grades with men from national league clubs or went to the uk and worked their asses off working their way through the leagues and clubs earning the right to play for bigger clubs. They didn't have a good season or two the piss off to Europe thinking they'd made by playing for fc shit kickers in the second tier of some second rate league.
