Inaugural Bavaria League season kicks off

Developing local (metro) 9s leagues is, I believe, the best way to build long-lasting foundations for the sport. Hopefully more cities see the value in establishing local 9s leagues to develop local talent and extend playing careers without the continuing burden of travel costs and time away from home/work - particularly those centres who operate in isolation. More games, more often = better playing standards.

Absolutely - I agree with you 100% on that Phil.

A few of my German correspondents have said recently they feel the future of footy in Germany needs to be a series of local leagues each feeding into a national league team.

The local leagues is where the serious numbers growth among locals will occur, giving new players an opportunity to try out the game without spending huge amounts of time or cash on travel. Then the locals who are keen will step up to the AFLG premier league.

I was always keen to see how the US metro leagues went and we covered them particularly when WFN started out. It seemed like their 9-a-side concept would allow multiple local sides, less overheads such as cost, travel and time, and then feed into travelling "elite" sides. After all, the way most sports, including footy in Australia, evolved was with local matches. So it makes sense that should be how things evolve - of course getting that initial critical mass is always the tough bit.
