As for youth coaches attracting coaching fees of up to $4k is ludicrous. If coaches command those fees we should be getting better results in player development.
Mr Eland knows very well that payments exist. He also turns a blind eye because of the legal status that it draws his organisation into. Regardless, he is responsible to oversee the game locally, clubs paying out more than they earn, Youth NPL teams paying fees to supplement Seniors and after what I have seen over the last few weeks, if $2400 justifies some of the "qualified" coaching in NPL, we need a Royal Commission. De couple Youth, audit clubs spending and cap funds across two segments. Youth money goes to Youth football. Every NPL program in town will be broke in 12 mths.
