They definitely weren't the only team to play like this. The most annoying part of it is the clubs that are playing the football that they are supposed to according to the curriculum seem to instruct their players and game leaders that kids will be blown for offside if it's blatant. Then you'll play against teams where they are not playing offside at all. Our boys then can't understand why they aren't getting pulled up for offside and have to try and change the way they think mid game.

Anyway did anyone see the new guidelines NSW football just released for Sydney SAP? As of 2021 a under 9s and up SAP coach will require a minimum B license to coach 9 yr olds ��*♂️
Wow, most clubs in Newy only require the skills coaching course don't they? I know some aim for C license or for coaches who commit to getting their C license though.

SAP rego in Sydney is upward of $2200 for SAP and more for NPL, it’s just become ridiculous.
Makes me feel a little better about my sons fees this year

No way the best kids are being picks for these programs but only the ones that their parents can afford it. Most Regos in Newcastle vary from $900 to $1200 from what I’ve heard.
In the next few years we will lose more and more kids to AFL and NRL because $200 will get you a full rego in those codes, something has to change at the top before it gets out of hand.
Yeh, it's not right at all. There will definitely be kids missing out because their parents can't afford to pay that amount of money.
As you say above as well about losing players, how is the code going to attract new players with those sort of prices? Try telling parents in league stronghold areas that their son may be a gifted player in NRL and Football but to make the step up in one code you'll have to pay thousands vs in the other that will be relatively free.

Which one will they choose?
