At this young age it is not neccersary to divide between boys and girls , and the palers should be encouraged to enjoy their spoty

This FAW rule is a national embarrassment when the rest of the UK allows girls to play up to age 15. The rule should be changed immediately.

I think the age of 14 is a good age to then go to a ladies team 11 is to young as long as the boys don't mind there's no problem ???

Keep girls in sport for as long as possible - this could even help the boys they play with too! Diolch

This is a great cause - I managed a team with two girls in, both of whom played until they were U13. Unfortuanaltey then the U13/U14 mixed league put paid to them wanting to continue. One was lost to football and one went to England to play on. Come on FAW get with teh times and out of th dark ages if you want Welsh football at all ages and all genders to be competitive.

The Newport League play in the Gwent County the same as our League the East Gwent which allows Girls to play in mixed teams up to the under 16s .Girls can play in a mixed team up to the under 16s as the Gwent County do not run a girls league.
