It's not that hard finding an NPL spot. You may have to change club but it's quite diluted up here.

Who really cares what it costs, it’s an individual decision if they want to pay it to play under those competitions then great if they don’t then play community.

Nothing worse then reading about people whinging about the cost vs other sports and about people wanting to throw stats about how many are going to be professionals etc

Or who’s kids do clinics or extra coaching outside of JDL/NPL because they think there kids are better 🤦*♂️🤦*♂️

At the end of the day, if a parent chooses to spend THEIR money to give THEIR child every opportunity to be the best they can be who are we to comment positively or negatively
Depends where the $1000 is going. If half is going to 1st grade then its a farce for many. You obviously feel its fair.

You shouldnt have to pay first grade when you are trying to improve your OWN situation. Or next time when you go for a haircut, pay double so the 1st grade player gets a free cut. Money well spent hey.
