Exactly, 2 friends of ours had/have kids at Cooks Hill.

One started in U9 SAP for Hamilton this season, the other will be trialling at Magic, Jaffas, Olympic, etc next season after this years U12 comp finishes. Not one person from cooks hill has chatted to this lad about playing U13's NL1 next year.

There isn't enough focus on developing and retaining kids prior to U13's for some clubs.
