Most if not all NPL wages are pay as you play. From season start to season end. Many clubs will make the highest/over paid players do coaching clinics or coach a youth team to help in paying those players.
Then ofcourse the extortionate rego fee’s they’ve been charging parents for decades now. I’ll never be convinced the end reward for the crazy payments in NPL are worth it. But in saying that, credit to the blokes that can take advantage of it. I know I would if I was good enough.
And if you think some NPL wages are ridiculous for the level, consider the players/coaches being paid in the past and present in our own local premier league and div 1. And to make it even funnier, some of the more consistently strong clubs (kilarney) notoriously don’t pay players.
