Seriously, Whats all the fuss about. NPL youth isnt special. No one is going professional. Just pick a good coach and club that is close by that suits your kid. The team will be in a division with a decent chance for finals. I had a kid that went fringe NSL and in the end well done but no big deal and hardly worth the effort.
The wannabe egos in this town is a joke. From the coaches who arent very good, to parents who think their precious kids are going pro, to the kids themselves who really cbf. I love the kids who take the piss on the field and have fun. Some of those have some talent as well.
