Most parents with talented kids will put there kids into a training academy ie: the Juve one out in Brimbank/Bulleen etc
NPL clubs are an absolute disgrace charging well over $1200 (think south melb charge 2k plus) for juniors, the only problem with this you have 3rd world coach`s taking sessions who have very limited technical idea or corrupt parents putting money into the club in exchange for there kids playing time (it happens more then people actually think).
It`s honestly cheaper finding an agent putting your kid on a plane and sending them off to Europe .
