Should we adopt a different season strategy for youth football, Play from September to December then miss Jan Feb and March cold and wet loads of games called off and play later March to June?

I can’t help thinking the longer I coach the better it would be for youth football to adopt a split season leaving the winter months out of it, more games get cancelled than played ,

children hardly learn at training in the rain or freezing nights, especially from u7 to id say u13 age groups

I was discussing this earlier this week. Definitely should be split and might get more girls playing football as it's not too cold. I believe the Americans play over Summer.

What a quaint idea. We have just called off all games this weekend, frozen pitches, the girls were the last to call it as they wanted to play. My niece plays girls football in California and thought we are much more progressive here about letting kids play in the rain and or cold.
