That was funny ![]() |
considering the high school aged teams haven't played a team outside VA, i'd say this is wishful thinking this early into the season. |
We watched practice at Evergreen. He never said anything about that and he cant control it. Plus that was NOT BPs biggest issue. |
My kid got an excellent offer to top 3 D1 team via CZ - BP had NOTHING to do with it. And had no connections with the college coaching staff. |
Is it common practice at Rev to not carry large teams? I see other clubs with stacked benches and most Revolution teams have half as many. |
Prolly the whole one family motto didn’t get sold well at the meetings. Or maybe not enough beverages were supplied in time to sway the paying customers. Who knows. |
You're an A$$ |
What do you consider a large team? |
Rev has a standard 2-3 bench players vs 4-6 for the teams we've played in 9v9 from what I've seen this season. |
Most coaches will tell you they don't want a large roster, especially for 9v9. That's not exclusive to Rev. |
So who makes the teams big, the club wanting money? I do t see many clubs with smaller rostered teams across the different levels of a club on purpose around the DMV. |
Why do you want 6 bench players for 9v9? that basically means the entire team plays 1/2 the game and it's a massive line change |
Because 9v9 turns into 11v11 and a 6 player bench turns into 4. The good u12 9v9 teams are already playing in 11v11 tournaments and some are playing in 11v11 leagues as well |
Spoken like a coach trying to justify having such large teams, i don't think any parent would see it that way, since less players = more playing time and playing 11v11 tournaments would mean only adding 1~3 players for a weekend vs carrying 1~3 extra players for an entire year. |
Look at EDP for U13. There are U12 teams playing. |
