The Football Association has made it for the 2013/14 season U9s cannot play in competitive leagues - they play a match against another team, no record of the score can be made, but you still have the hassle of travelling for home and away games, where on earth is the incentive in playing something that no one can win?
In 2014/15 U10s and under will be non-competitive
In 2015/16 U11s and under will be non-competitive
In 2016/17 U12s and under will be non-competitive
AIBU to think this is ridiculous for a sport? These kids are going to get to 18 never having played in a competitive match.
AIBU?
to not understand why football has become so non-competitive for kids?
