Next year we just have Medium (30) and no large (36). the big 3 go to medium. do all the teams that were in medium this year leave medium because of the intimidation factor or do they stay?
I think that with only having two sizes (small and medium) in the all girl senior 5 division, gyms (particularly smaller ones) would probably realize that the stakes are even higher in that division than before, and would be picking their teams even more wisely. I think this could perhaps be the demise of the flyers who are less than senior age. If you have 26 girls with fulls and doubles, and 20 of them are senior age, you have to cut out the younger ones. A lot of gyms that are not mega-sized have trouble attracting boys, and most of those gyms would probably not be able to field a co-ed 5 team in addition to an all-girl 5. I honestly think that changing the ball game regarding the all girl 5 divisions would probably strengthen other non-level 5 divisions, particularly youth and junior 3,4,5, and senior 3,4, and R5.
