Good development.
Player wages need to be paid in a timely manner. Genuine young talents have to be groomed in the league. Clubs should now have academies. There should now be a combined NNL and NPFL youth league where academy players (all of whom should definitely be either in secondary school or first two years in higher education) can participate. Our leagues should be professionally marketed and player welfare should be at the forefront.
