I would say its the sign of a well run, well organised club, that provides quality coaching, and an inclusive environment, to all levels, from u6 through to Newfm.
The fees include full playing kit that is the kids at the end of the day, and centralised coaching programs for u6-u9's using programs developed by Clayton Zane, for all kids, not just those wanting to go into higher levels.
For those who want a pathway for development its there from u9 onwards.
No fees paid by kids in the junior club go towards paying players in first grade. Completely seperate budgets, accounts, and committees.
For full disclosure my kids have all played at New Lambton ,but do not anymore
