Our recreational league has been coed since it's inception. We formed coed divisions simply because of numbers. When our league formed in 2002, we had ~350 players or so from U6 up through U12 just enough to form small two year divisions of coed teams (U6/U8/U10/U12). A few years later players were split by gender only if they made our new travel teams (U10 and above).

Should they be playing up?

Oh how everyone talks as if they know what "development" is, and how to do it. Sigh ...

Let's talk a little bit about "playing up" and whether it helps or not.

This weekend our U11′s are going to play in a U12 tournament. This isn't the first time competing up either.

It was reaffirmed that Canberra's possible inclusion in the Hyundai A-League was postponed for the forseeable future. The idea of a separate, stand-alone Canberra team in the National Youth League was canvassed, but economic factors were identified as a major impediment at this stage
