Two Questions

[DownFanatic]

These centre around GAA rules.

Firstly:  If a club do not provide an U-16 team for the season ahead and their players join a neighbouring club to get U-16 football. Do they have to transfer to that club or can they just simply register for that club without transferring and then return later to their club of origin?

Secondly: At what age group is a player officially connected to a club (i.e, the age group at which the player would have to get a transfer to join another club)
Is it as low as U-8 or U-10 or is it U-12 when official club competitions begin?

can you not amalgamate the two clubs at under age level

They must transfer to the second club and if they are any good they won't be coming back .

Can play for a different club every week until U12 level I think.

With the new registration system I'd imagine once a kid is registered by a particular club (no matter what the age) then a transfer would be required to join another club.  I know of clubs registering kids as young as 5 on the system.
