I was at a FFT coaching meeting for clubs tonight.
One of the issues discussed was drop out rates of footballers in both genders.
In Tasmania about 40% of players stop playing football when leaving junior clubs at under 12 to senior clubs who usually start at under 13, or this last season, under 14.
There is another drop out rate of about 40% at under 16 level too again in both genders.
What are the figures like in your state?

Is there a limit on the age group a 'junior club' can have? Would'nt it be logical if as a club you had an U/12 team to keep that team for next year to play U/13?
In my zone there are no restrictions so I'd be interested in what the thinking behind a separation is.
