My club have an appalling attitude to kids and make no effort at all (and yes, I would help).
Personally, I would look to the affiliations / associations to set some form of governance standards with respect to junior development.
It would probably never happen because of the disparate nature of national associations, but if there was a strong central body there is no reason why they couldn't set some form of agenda /guidelines that clubs could follow in terms of Junior Development.
I bet if you pooled all the resources, from all the different bodies, you could probably harness a lot more productivity and get a program aimed at the two areas where it really matters - clubs and schools.
In the long run, more people, better educated (in the sport) has to be better for all concerned. Or does it?
Rich - interesting point with fly fishing. But not with my 8 year old, he would be deadly!
