FL Youth Alliance
Youth Alliance news for 2004/5
Changes were made to the Youth Alliance structure for the 2004/5 season. The introduction of the Modern Apprenticeship for Sporting Excellence (MASE) signalled a change from the old three-year scholarship to a two-year scheme. Instead of Under 19 and Under 17 competition a new Under 18 competition was introduced. Under 16 football is also played, but the Football League and FA class as schoolboy football, so no results are officially recorded or points awarded.
In this first season of the lower age groups, clubs were allowed to field five over-age players (one goalkeeper plus four outfield players) but this will gradually be reduced to zero over the next three seasons. The over-age players were to be under 19's.
