How do you expect this to occur? It wasn't younger when 18s were playing before reserves all the time, why would it suddenly change now?


Younger players in the NPL will not improve because of this change. But it will change and we will see younger kids in is the change to the rules regarding 1st grade game day squads coming in which will require 2 U20s and 3 U23s listed on the 1st grade team sheet each game.
