I was told by a pretty good source the following for GCYL 2022
-- player registration numbers are way up.
-- a number of programs are going to have 3rd and 5th grade teams so there could be 3rd and 5th grade divisions in the league again this season.
-- registration for Varsity levels across the league are the highest they have been since before concussion scares, so much that a 7th grade division has been considered. instead it sounds like just about every program in the league will be playing JV games on Monday nights whereas in the past maybe only a third of the programs were doing this
-- programs are going to stay combined, they will not be splitting off to run their own programs
-- Ignatius is getting moved down to D2 and CPS/StMary is getting moved up to D1. Although at the Varsity level I don't think it really matters anymore because last season showed D2 programs are just as strong as the D1 programs.
It is good to see registrations numbers up for football across the City. I only hope the league can channel the interest and continue to adapt to what is needed to keep the league growing. I also think there is a better balance on the League Board of East and West programs and this has to help in the decision making as to what is best for the League.
