My word.
Can we please get educated on the issues before having another pop at futsal based on how you imagine things to be?
In the document, if you read it, there are TWICE as many registered futsal players as women. And 20% less than school players.
And guess what? A year round futsal player gets pinged FOUR times for affiliation fees in a year, for four "seasons".
Plus KiwiSport funding, plus one million from the legacy project from U2ö world cup. Because guess what? Nobody else at NZ Football could put together a document with a plan or application for the money. Except the futsal staff. Who by the way is one person.
So yes, futsal are working WITHIN the structure, dictated terms by NZ Football, who profit nicely from it to prop up an organistation otherwise making a loss.

How do people read p6 of the doc re Proposed Structure....'Private Providers'....sit outside? or part of Other stakeholders group?
I read that as private providers sitting outside. Which is exactly what you'd expect to be fair.
I concur...to a point. Those private providers have 'members' - who pay a levy to NZF to play in their competitions, or attend coaching courses etc; should they not have a say as part of the stakeholder group? As a counter-point, are futsal clubs more or less worthy than private providers to be a part of the "other stakeholder' group?
