In Australia there is a pathway and we are told players will only be looked if they are in that pathway (something i am personally against) here no matter where you are or what division you are in you will be seen.
1 thing every club in Australia should implement tomorrow is netting behind the goal and sit back and watch you strike rate and goal rate rise.
astro turf pitches are great, cop a real battering here and still look great.
at 10:00pm every night men take over the pitches and play till past 11:00pm in some sort of senior comp, how do they get up for work.
With so much unemployment here why are we not tapping into the resources of under valued under paid coaches and players to raise our own comps?

Totally agree that the pathway system in Australia is to narrow and the current system in a way puts all of its eggs in one basket.

Please elaborate about the netting behind the goal, I think I know what your talking about, but some clarification would be great.

Behind every goal their is 5 m high netting to prevent the ball from travelling too far if the goal is missed . all the fields are a single full size but small astro turf field. The fields are surrounded by a fence and there are pivoting goals on the side for small sided games .There is a kiosk and club house separate. All the clubs i have seen so far are of the same construction. I'll take a photo and post it.

So what's the correlation between the ball netting and higher shooting rates. Is installing the nets something the clubs have consciously done.

The netting encourages shooting and makes players shoot more often and the game is restarted quickly.I think it is a mater of having too rather than consciously done.
