I cant believe clubs chose to go to 1 team this year as they will need to recruit next season.
It depends on numbers really.
Jaffas picked 13 (I think) for their single 11's team and I would think by Under 13's NPL they would select about 16 players?

The risk though is if any of the original 13 boys selected get picked up by the Jets then clubs might be looking at having to pick up more players whilst losing the best they currently have.

The flip side of it is, Olympic and Magic will now have somewhere in the vicinity of 22 players that they will need to reduce down to 16 from Under 12's SAP to Under 13's NPL. That's potentially 6 kids that will need to find NPL spots at other clubs.
