Realistically, as this has always been the way, now it just happens even earlier (SAP) - the good kids from the Westlakes area are already playing in town at NPL clubs.

And unless NNSW implement a “play where you live” policy I don’t think Toronto, Morisset or Westlakes will ever get to the point of having quality youth teams.
That’s how it was when I was a kid, I had a choice of 4 clubs in my area, it worked then, some quality players from my era
