I am getting a list in list which is nonsense, how can I simply get rid of a list

import csv
import random

with open ("soccer_playerss.csv", newline='')as csvfile:
    player_read = csv.DictReader(csvfile, delimiter =',')
    player_list = list(player_read)
    #print(player_list)

Dragons =[]
Sharks = []
Raptors = []

y_players = []
n_players = []

player = " "

def team_division(player):
    for player in player_list:
        if player['Soccer Experience'] == "YES":
            y_players.append(player)
        else:
            n_players.append(player)

   Dragons.append(y_players[0:len(y_players):3]+n_players[0:len(n_players):3])
   Sharks.append(y_players[1:len(y_players):3]+ n_players[1:len(n_players):3])
   Raptors.append(y_players[2:len(y_players):3] + n_players[2:len(n_players):3])
  print ("DRAGONS: ",Dragons)
team_division(player)

Wafic;

I think what you are asking is how to remove the list of experienced players and list of inexperienced players as separate lists for each team?

If that is indeed the case, during the team creation step in your code you will need to append each individual player to the team instead of the entire list of experienced/inexperienced players.

Is that what you are going after?

Thank you, I figured our that they should go to a dictionary because putting teams in separate lists will make it difficult to send them letter. The problem that is confusing for me is just whether I shall divide them into 2 groups or use the original list of players?

I think I figured the above but what is still not figuring out is how to create a dictionary from 2 lists of different sizes. After numerous fails, I checked the internet but they always used Zip which I prefer not to use since we didn't cover it in the courses.
