2023 Premier Youth League

[Taffy]

Saw that Football Victoria conducts their youth Pro/Rel on a team by team basis...surely this would have been a better model for us to have adopted, allowing for underperforming clubs to build and grow (without the risk of an overperforming team suffering a collective punishment, and being a target for poaching)

This is following on from a post from South Melbourne FC last night pointed out how they had just finished being graded for their youth NPL teams, and finished with 2 teams in Div 1, and a team each in Div 2 and 3

Shame we didn't adopt this model

I think the issue is volunteers, ground availability and players playing multiple games. Imagine Newcastle Olympic with their U16s in Coffs Harbour, their U15s at Weston, their U14s at home and their U13s at Blacksmiths, all playing on the same day in three different divisions.

Plus the way Northern does it is the same way Sydney does it
