2025 Premier Youth Leagues

[Addios]

I don't know about Edgeworth, but if what the other poster said is true, then it shows why it should be a whole club thing. Clubs need to look at ways they can improve, not just say we have some good teams and some bad teams and it doesn't matter. Perhaps look at why they lose players (the two groups that would be in 18s were very good, why have a lot of those players all left the club?) and what they can do to retain and attract.


As for your 13s idea, considering a lot of clubs have 2 12s which team are we basing form on? Some clubs have an A and B, others make the teams even. A grading mini comp, when? January? February? Then get the fixtures out? You're making it more complicated.

A bit of tongue in cheek but recruitment isnt as good as it could or should be. A current div 1 club should be a bit more diligent to ensure all grades can have a crack. Most other areas are ok.
I can understand that div C clubs will struggle to retain kids regardless of how well they do it. Nature of the beast.
