top team should be playing Sunday SDL Platinum league. JMO

could have agreed with this statement if both SDL Platinum & TGPL didn't force the 11v11! Not every team wants to go there yet - and, not for fear of competition! There is plenty of great 04 competition without having to make that move just yet! JMO

I liked the idea of playing small(er) sided games on Saturday and 11v11 on Sunday to get more touches and experience with 11v11. Now it looks like full squad for both days which won't be as good for player development.

Experience with 11v11 gives the coach the advantage - to figure out how his team will work together - not the players for development. If they need better technical skill with the ball, off the ball, etc., it doesn't matter if there are 6 on the field or 20. In my opinion, it's something to give leagues and coaches a new angle to market a product/service. 9 year olds have no business playing 11 a side.

Stick to small sided if we truly want the players to get better.

But, that's getting off topic.
