Are the NYSC DA teams a pool or do they divide the, A/B?

Only u12 is a pool, then it goes to 1 squad for u13+. For u12, most clubs give lip service to pool in Fall and do "soft" balance (throw a few A team kids on the B) week to week but by Spring there is usually a clear A and B. Then the B team kids are all at risk of being cut. All teh DA clubs u12 seem to work this way.

how is that even possible - when 2 squads of 24-28 kids condense down to 18-20 on 1 squad as the game shifts from 9 v 9 to 11 v11. unless they had a bunch of 07s playing up or had very small roster to begin with.

Roster is in low 20s with some kids playing up and some kids playing on age next yr.
