For sure.Finding kids who are willing and able to step in at that age is near impossible and emphasizes why the JDL (or equivalent) program needs to be expanded rather than scrapped.Natural attrition means spots in NPL clubs will always open up,but we need every kid at the (so called) lower level to have had access to the same programs all the way through so they have a better chance of stepping straight in when opportunities arise.
