As of last year, PAL allowed towns that have 2 teams in the 5th and 6th grade to split them by ability. It took them a few years too long to approve this.
This obviously is a positive sign, that this league is showing that it can evolve somewhat. The top divisions provide excellent competition in 5th and 6th grade. The lower divisions allow kids that are not as far along in their development to get to touch the ball, and play against appropriate competition.
Did Three village move from Nassau to Suffolk because of this?
