A recent discussion I was part of centred around the idea of NNSWF providing a pathway from community football to JDL and/or YPL.

NNSWF would set up a team in each age group, 9s through 16s. Community players who have never been part of the JDL/YPL setup would be allowed to trial/join.

Each player would be allowed one year in this team, before leaving to go back to community, or to a club within the JDL/YPL setup.

Ticks a few boxes for me; including parents unsure of how whether their child can fit into such a system with extra training etc.
Even better if the cost could be reduced/eliminated to entice players who might otherwise not enter the system. Could there be a subsidy or scholarship type approach attempted for transitioning these kids into clubs? Limits as to how many players from an age group can go to a single club at the end of the year?

I'm sure there are valid issues that mean this could never happen, but putting here for discussion.
