2014 U19 Kitted Season Review
The 2014 U19 season was a significant turning point in British youth American football. For the first time, teams were permitted to participate in 8-a-side competition, alongside traditional 11v11 formats. This move provided flexibility and growth opportunities for emerging teams, especially those unable to field full rosters for 11-a-side play. Despite the variation in formats, the season maintained a competitive and unified playoff structure.
