Does anyone know what the rules are for playing up under the new age designation being implemented next season? Is there a restriction on the number of players that can play up or is it unlimited?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAny imposed regulations will be dictated either by whatever league your team is in or your club. Thus far it seems you could have as many as you want, but again as it gets closer to leagues may spell out rules. However higher-level clubs will not be willing to run majority-younger player teams as it will make them less competitive.
1. Keep existing team in tact even though the younger players will face older competition OR
2. Break up existing team to allow older players to "even the playing field"
My opinion is that option 1 is better for the older teams (U15 and up) where the size advantage is not as great versus the younger teams where 1 year apart can be a significant advantage. It would be nice if that decision were left to the clubs versus leagues imposing restrictions though.
