in Tyrone often refer only to Under 16 competitions and not all levels under minor. Under 13 Over the last number of years a small autumn Under 13 based league has taken place in Tyrone. Its original purpose was to find a county winner for the Feile na nÓg competition but has since evolved into its own competition with 4 different grades. In 2006 Grade 1 was played with teams 15-a-side, Grade 2 13-a-side, while Grades 3 & 4 were played 11 and 9-a-side respectively on shortened playing areas. Only a league takes place, there is no championship competition. Under 12 Since the early 1990s Under 12 football has been played on a non-competitive basis, with teams arranged into local groups to play each other in a round-robin. The emphasis is on player and team development rather than winning, and as such no trophies or medals are awarded by the county board. In 2005 the league has been run on the Go-Games principles with rules different from those normally, smaller teams and shortened pitches. Under 10 and Under 8 Competitions at these age levels are held as blitzes usually around once a month at each age level. Like Under 12 competitions the Go-Games principles apply for each age level. E.G. Under 8 games are played under "First Touch" rules which doesn't allow for deliberate physical contact and is only allowed to bounce the ball once in a solo run.
