NNSW sit on hands charging everyone else like a wounded but not sure where they are spending millions.
Cooks Hill has a fund set aside for exactly this purpose. To support local kids who otherwise would not be able to participate not just in NPL but football at all levels. There are ~10 kids this year who have been beneficiary of this fund.

Clubs supporting youth players financially to participate does not have to be financed from regos either. All clubs, at all levels generate income through sponsorship, canteens, fundraisers. Football and finances should not be about the individual, players are part of a club and that club exists in a community. Choosing to spend money on community minded endeavours is part of any good community organisation.

I'd be surprised if every club in the city didn't have some sort of support to assist players who would otherwise not afford it.
