9 v 9 football

 

For the current season – 2011/2012 – the SYL has introduced 9 a side football for the U11s. 

This is a little ahead of schedule according to FA requirements but followed extensive  positive consultation with our clubs. 

We are looking to continue with this for forthcoming seasons with both  U11 and U12 teams adopting this format for next season.

This questionnaire is completed by current U-11 managers and  club secretaries - David (web master)
