I'm not sure how combining U13 and U14 players would hurt player development; putting the best of the two teams would seem to allow them to be more competitive and have the numbers to continue playing at a more competitive level, as opposed to trying to make two teams who aren't seeing success. What do you see as the negatives of the solution? Perhaps that some U13 players will be left out due to having too many players for one team rather than too few for two? Just curious.
