Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAren’t there a lot of clubs that currently don’t have u16/17? So their u15 would be asked to compete at this level. It would weaken an already weakening product.
Even if GDA wasn't splitting the U15s the transition to U17 is always there. The teams tend to be heavily weighted to the older players. They move up qualified younger players, drop some dead wood, maybe pick up a few outside players and you have a team. Now clubs can hold on to the weaker/younger players by letting all play as U16s. Boys are keeping the U17 teams, which, personally I think is one of the few good things about DA. Only the strong survive, as it should be for the supposed "top" league

I know LISC is getting U16 added for next year (so the current U15s just move up). Not sure about U17 (probably not as they'd have to add an entire new team).
