Rather bold statement that we can build enough teams and competition for

U6, U7, U8, U9, U10, U11, U12, U13, U14, U15 Youth teams....


Football is not 2 year increments. The old way was 6-8, 7-9 etc but there were weight limits. They only spaced it out so bigger kids could play up. Most leagues now go U8 to U14 in one year increments except for U14 because they lose so many players to private middle school teams. These don't have weight limits anymore. If you are a 2020 it is largely irrelevant once this summer is over anyway. Like most I think it is idiotic to hold a kid back in middle school for sports but it is what it is. I've spoken with college coaches and they all know how old each kid is.
