→Girls Teams
Initially, COP, Gulf Breeze, PSL and Milton Optimist all made girls teams in age groups U-10, U-12 and U-14. It was decided to keep girls mixed on all U-8 teams. PUSA did not want to seperate their girls mainly because the few girls they had were starters (and stars) on respective boys teams. PUSA did, however, offer "friendly" games for purposes of scheduling teams to play. This meant that PUSA did seperate all of their girls from various boys teams onto one team so that they may play the other leagues in games, but only for "friendly" purposes.
The first season, PSL had four girls teams (two U-10, one each U-12 and U-14) while Gulf Breeze had six girls teams (two in each age bracket). Milton Optimist had three teams (one in each age group) while COP had three teams (two U-10 and one U-12). PUSA had one team in U-14. All of these leagues worked together to offer a girls "friendship" schedule with home and away games. To fill out the schedule, games were arranged with the Police Soccer League in Niceville, FL. This league had an abundance of girls teams, and offered to play "friendly" games home and away.
It took quite a bit intially to ask parents (of female players) to subject themselves to the amount of traveling involved. In the past, parents would register their children and then games would be convenient to their homes. Suddenly, by seperating all girls onto teams of their own, parents had to travel to other cities, and in the case of PSL having night games, contests would be on school nights. After that initial season, more and more female players began to sign up in all leagues.
