NCF wages match those published on the NNSW website LESS the 10% fee.

It seems very odd to me that the kids (and adults) are responsible for these costs and not registration fees from the players. Thoughts?
Yes they do and its just the cost of doing business IMHO.The refs get paid more than pretty much every other youth job and its tax free so they are well in front financially.
