Mixed Age Groups in Girls Friendly Matches.

Paul Hankin

We have a growing U15 (U16 next season) girls squad that have been training with us but have yet to have a match day experience with our club as the squad isn't quite big enough yet. We have an U17 squad (U18 next season) that has been playing league football this season and as we draw towards close we are being offered friendly matches. Can I include U15 players in an U17 friendly match if supported by player and parent?

    Hi Paul - i think as long as it is a supportive environment and players and parents/guardians are happy and aware then this could be a good method for increasing their exposure to matchday experience to help them in the future. I would consider how and when you introduce them (potentially not starting or playing too many as once) along with informing the opposition of your intentions as it may impact some of their choices.
