2000-2009 Decade 1 (21st Century)

Changes in closures:
	Four schools closed: Hanau High School London Central High School Wurzburg High School Giessen High School

Changes in school sizes:
*(division alignment have required movement of many programs up and down in classification)*
	Bamberg- from mid-size Division III school to a large Division II school Ansbach- from Division III to Division II school Vilseck- mid-size Division II to a Division I school Patch- larger Division II school to a larger Division I school Wiesbaden- gets the prize for being the most unpredictable- one year Division II and the next Division I (sometimes we don’t know until the week before practice starts). Restructuring of the bottom classification to create a 9 man league for those schools that need it has affected the mid-level small schools, as they have moved up to accommodate the smallest schools. This in turned pushed Wiesbaden up to DI. Old mid-level Division III programs, AFNORTH, Baumholder, Hohenfels and Vicenza are now DII.

Changes in old-guard coaching ranks:
	Long time coaches Ric Carr (Bitburg), Darryl Schwartz (Wiesbaden) and Kenny McNeeley (Aviano) stepped down/retired, after many years at the helms of their schools.
