A lot of work has certainly gone into this and Peter Hugg should be applauded for that.
So what does it all mean?
FFA, FNSW and for that matter any member federation have no jurisdiction over private enterprise, being academies, yesterday, today or into the future.
Hey, but we all knew that and if associations and affiliated clubs were hoping for something else then they are delusional.
Anyhow, Game, Set and Match.
Thank you linemen, thank you ball boys.

Wow, an excellent review by Mr Hugg. Fascinating how the report encourages governing bodies to get involved and provide more support to grassroots clubs. And if these bodies had’ve done this from the get-go, then maybe academies would not have come into being. And presume Hills FA will now strike out clause 2.2 from their bylaws relating to academies, one less thing for them to worry about.

The thing about common sense is it is usually not common. I’m wrapped in the sense displayed in this report. It’s all about supporting what is already happening, because it is happening for good reasons. Listen and understand those reasons and design a system that supports it. Outstanding. I hope the powers that be take their lead from it.

Interesting report. In summary:
- there's loads of academies out there, good, bad and ugly. - the genie has been let out of the bottle so let market forces weed out the bad ones; - whilst they probably should /could be regulated, FNSW don't really have the time/money/resources to oversee regulation or accreditation. There are greater priorities. Perhaps, the new Coaches Association will self regulate? - remove competition restrictions preventing clubs with private academies competing in FNSW tournaments.
Generally, the report makes sense but I'm a little disappointed that an accreditation system where academies meet certain criteria wasn't explored in some form (similar to AustSwim accredited swim coaches and centres). I would have had this scheme funded by private academies who'd have to pay a fee to be licenced and assessed. Also, a code of conduct which aims to make sure that academies are operating ethically (eg promising the world but delivering an atlas). This would actually be beneficial for the better private academies who truly in it for the development of players can be easier to distinguish for people who have no idea what to look for.
Most people here on this forum would be able to sniff out the good from the scams however there's a lot of clueless parents who really have no idea where to turn and will end up blowing a tonne of cash on fast talking salesmen and will only realise this much later down the track.
