D6 is the only District that will split AA and A for the league season. Others do not have enough AA teams to do so.
D10 has enough AA teams to have a split league. Their is 7 or 8 AA teams.

We simply have to look back at the "straw poll" to see where the problems comes up.

It all comes down to if MNH comes in with totalitarian force and makes associations play at certain levels.

Then they should split - unless they have only a couple A teams

Bo: Very interesting idea about allowing Private high schools to form their own youth associations. They are basically doing that at Bantams by taking over existing associations. But I think the Private schools aren't interested in development Mite, Squirt players within their own association. They would rather let all of the other metro associations do the development, then recruit the kids they want as Bantams.

I actally can imaging some districts not having enough A teams to split a league unless the big associations do the AA/A, district 2 for example is almost all AA high schools (without Mahtomedi who may opt up).

NSP AA?, Tartan AA?, Forest Lake AA/B1, Mounds View AA/B1, WBL AA/?, Stillwater AA/?, Highland ?, Roseville AA, Mahtomedi A?

Fact is there will be very few A teams in this district so no chance to split unless someone opts down and some go AA/A even then it would be a small group causing lots more travel to get competition outside the district. Might get some of the wisco teams during regular season Hudson, New Richmond, Sommerset etc... who only had B teams last year

OG did district 2 have a discussion about this?
