And for the girls who are number 19-28 how often are you on the roster?

Asking because I have a DD who is a starter on a Union team with 19 players. She is not top player on the team but is a solid starter. Just trying to understand how these things are handled once the roster size gets out of hand.

When the rosters get out of hand the extra players are dual rostered and play mostly with the B team.

That is correct, and if not the B team, the A team on a club that does not have ECNL, such as DMV (aka Total Futbol) due to the coaching tie in. Several girls across various ages do this. In fact I know one kid that plays Union 06 ECNL and DMV 05 and another that plays Union 03/04 ECNL and DMV 03/04. They also play HS ball and are all conference, as you’d expect.

hopefully she'll get the chance to make a lot of money is NWSL

Curious, other clubs like Loudoun or VDA have interest in dual rostering a player from another non-ecnl club?

VDA has VSA and PWSI players train and play with VDA teams.

Each ECNL team can add 2 discovery players. You would have to reach out to the teams to see.

How is practicing with a ECNL team and playing a league game overuse? They either play in ECNL or EDP but likely not both if they are a Dual Roster player.

what happens to the 06 Mclean kids each week? Because I know for a fact that in that year they're not playing on the B (green) team.

I care because I have a 2007 player and am wondering what type of sh**show we will be in next year when they add 10 players to the roster

I love it when a PP has nothing to say but snark, then they get destroyed. Thanks for posting your point and it's a good one.

Kids have a lot of things going on at this age with school, other sports, extra-curricular activities and family/friends stuff. If anything having a big roster would probably make it easier to the kid/family to say 'no' to a game/practice for x reason. Practice is where the coach will make the decision for the weekend roster. If your kid is serious about the game, but isn't making the weekend roster, then they need to work on their game, improve their foot skills, touch, endurance, decision-making. Whatever it is they need to do they have to show improvement. Though, I would imagine the coach does rotate players for that big of a roster. My only concern is with 28 players I wonder where the player talent drops off? Or maybe it doesn't and that's why the roster is that big? Or maybe the coach sees potential in some of the less skilled players that just need to continue to develop? Or maybe it's just about the $$$?

Switch to BRYC and DD can take the places those players just vacated.

Bruh, for this kid the PP mentioned, this absolutely is a recipe for overuse: playing for three teams at once and probably attending 5+ training sessions a week:

one kid that plays Union 06 ECNL and DMV 05 and another that plays Union 03/04 ECNL and DMV 03/04... They also play HS ball

This only happens because Nadir is the coach and gets free passes to do and undo as the pleasing calls… go figure.
