I can not wait until divisions no longer change. Pic a number and stick to it. 6,8,10 regardless no one will exit that div and join lrg. Dumb.
I think level 4 would have changed if it was below prep level vs prep level and below.That's the one I'm shocked didn't pass.
I may be in the minority, But I am glad we are going through another season without dramatic rule changes. With that said, I would have been okay with the Level 4 and Level 5 options opening up, but still... I think I am more happy no change for once and we can focus on executing what we can do!
The annoying thing about this "rule" is that it is supposed to encourage more teams to go large coed. I just don't understand the point, doesn't make sense to me. Either you have 18 boys or you don't. There SHOULD be a place for gyms without a huge amount of boys not to try and push gyms into this "large" category. I just want them to pick a number and STAY there. I don't want to see "10" on the voting slate next year.I don't like that the number of males was passed to increase to 8. It is NOT easy to find even 6 boys with quality level 5 skills in this area, let alone 8! Heck some years we struggled to find 4. :-/ I'm hoping this is just going before the rules committee but that they at LEAST discuss this option with the gyms that currently field medium coed teams before they pass it.

Any idea when the new age grid will be released (if there are any changes)??
I realize boys are very difficult to find in most places, especially at a high level. I am also not a coach who is trying to field a team, so I realize my opinions don't really matter... but the reason I like this rule is because with the numbers being 4,8, and 18 the percentage of males on a team are:
SC: 20%
MC: almost 30%
LC: up to 50%
i think that is a very nice progression between the divisions and makes more sense. (at 6 males, SC and MC have the same percentage, which seems silly to me) All just my opinion, of course.
I agree with you....Cheerleading may be popular for boys in the south...but not in the north or northeast. I feel this 8 limit will make the small coed division even larger than it already is. Medium and large coed teams will not exist in the north.I don't like that the number of males was passed to increase to 8.
