WB - true... but... what's the difference between the
"big guy from the rival club he has to try to bring down during a mixed game"
and
"the big guy from hios own club he has to try to bring down during a [mixed - or not] game"
The point here is that presumably U9s aren;t going to go into a game on October 1st (say) having never ever attempted a tackle in a game-like situation before ... are they?
That is, context is everything we are taught as coaches, and game related practise is all important, so having done our drills and excercises to coach the tackle we as coaches would be providing our players with the opportunity to use the new skill in a game related environment to place it within context of the game as a whole.
Innit?

Surely the purpose of the delayed start to games is to enable new skills to be acquired and familiarised before they have to be put into practice in a game situation. If little Jonny is scared witless of tackling after one training session, it won't help him much to know that the big guy from the rival club he has to try to bring down during a mixed game is not wearing his usual club colours.

wrt "joint training games" ...
I feel (maybe Andy Dixon could provide a definitive view?) that as long as the coaches involved mix the players suitably and they are not clad in club colours there shouldn;t be any reason not to play a game at the end of training. ie ensure that "a passerby" could not obviously identify the team as representing any particular club.
I would also concur that if you really, really wanted to avoid any possible repercussions then no match should be played at all involving a mixyure of players from each club.

Yes and then again, no...
It all depends on what actually happens.
Joint training meaning fitness and ball skills, I can't see why not.
But rounding off the session with a "friendly training game" is the sort of thing that could easily lead to trouble.
(Why would you want to have a "joint training session" anyway? Is a local club short of pitch space and you want to share?)
