Apart from NPL level , there are many players playing from age 19 onwards, who feel like they train for outdoor football twice a week, but learn little from their coaches about improving their game.
That is:
1. Technical aspects of play
First touch
Running With The Ball
Striking The Ball
1v1 Defensive and Attacking Skills
2. Game Sense
3. Communication
They know in terms of conditioning, they have to be fit to play football, but are not that clear how, and in what areas they need to improve as set out by their coaches.
Hence, training becomes a chore.
Those people reading this who've continued to play football as an adult, what are /have been your experiences as adult footballers in terms of developing as footballers?
Sadly, this lack of learning has extended to players who've won a VPL title in the past.

And you can harness a lot of that passion through professionalism (coaching, administration, facilities), enjoyment (incorporate fun into drills) and growth. If a person can see themselves "growing", that is accomplishment things they get more passionate about something. This is where "good" coaching comes in, IMO. If players can see themselves getting better than are more likely to continue playing. e.g. in karate there are belts ... it is an incentive to keep getting better to go up to the next belt, and as you get better chances are you will be more passionate about it. OK, thanks, my only comment would be the line when coaches (and players) want to turn “passion” into “payment”. For example, a junior coach who ends developing 5 Olyroos or Socceroos, might say “well stuff this, I want money”. That’s the crossover point I (sort of) wanted to hint above. Thanks again. A very, very good question. Most of the time I've been happy to coach for no remuneration, because it provides a good deal of goodwill. So players wanting money at around 18.:-k It depends on what is occurring elsewhere. In this milieu there are a lot of registrations and minimal payments made of circa $100 per game.
To the letter of the law without a signed contract these payments are actually 'reimbursements'
FWIW payments at NPL level in our area vary greatly, where as some players get nothing up to $800 that im aware of
