The promotion of SAP aged 8-12(13) years of age players and youth tournaments means that A-League clubs can have the pick of the bunch of young players as did state feds like what has occurred in South Australia with the NTC and Adelaide United.
My understanding is that Players who leave there community and NPL clubs at or before the age of 12y.o their clubs are not eligible to receive either Training compensation or Solidarity payments from future contracts and transfers.
Does anyone understand this process more? and could they shed light on how perhaps A-League clubs have not only been the beneficiaries of community, NPL and state federation player development from an on the pitch perspective, but perhaps even a future business perspective? The system which Australia still has doesn't just bottle neck players, but the next 10 or so years money will flow into A-league clubs but most lower tier clubs will be missing out on these training incentives and cash injections? Is this a correct summary of the business of transfers and youth development ?
