Which highlights your last point. Many younger SAP teams dont know who will be coaching when the trials happen so dont know which club to choose. Maybe the stronger teams from previous years could be a guide but not always.
It is a disadvantage. But I don’t really see it as a bad thing. Its progress.
Maybe next year 2 clubs have highly qualified coaches, the year after maybe 3-4, then 5-6 etc. the standard is rising, which is only a good thing in the long run.
If a club sticks with relatively under qualified coaches, who is at fault? Who benefits from this?
The aim should be to continually raise the quality of our programs through better coaching, better facilities, better everything.

Am I missing something?
