True. That would be the 04s and 03s. Solid point.

Sure. Well too bad for the three 2005 players that won't get rostered this weekend. Feel bad for those kids and families. Did they pay full price for DA?

I don't know, but it's not like FCV didn't do it last year in some of the age groups, so families going there know what to expect. If they didn't like it, they could pick another place to play. And nothing compares to the madness Spirit did last year. They had almost 30 playing U15, 20 U14, 19 U17, and 20 U19.

25 rostered on McLean ECNL

There you go. And BRYC lists 20+ for some of their ECNL teams too.

Yes true but large rosters are easier to handle in ECNL with substitution rules. Doesn't DA limit how much field time the 18 rostered 2005s will get each game?

Forget the 3 not rostered, they will be gone in a year.

False. Even in the ECNL, only 18 may dress out for a game.

No. no. Read what I said again. I am talking about the 18 rostered. Does DA have unlimited subs for the 05s? Are all 18 able to play in a given game?

Yes, actually, they can.

Allowed up to 7 subs but the no return to play rule makes coaches reluctant to pull their starters, so the end result is more disparity in playing time.

This wouldn't happen if coaches weren't so focused on winning, but that's the "development" academy for you.

Cool. Have fun with that big roster. You sure fleeced those families.

18 is a big roster?

18 is fine. 21 is a crime.

The "crime" will stop when parents stop accepting it. They can play for other teams instead of warming FCV's bench. Besides, you could also go after the ECNL and DA leagues themselves for even allowing it.

I don't think over 18 players is good for development, but those parents choose to keep staying at all these area clubs. There are other choices, so quit whining here and go find another team for your little Mia.

The no return rule doesn't really affect the minutes of subs and can actually be better because once in you know you're in and can get into the flow of the game versus 10 minutes in the first half and maybe 20 minutes in the second half. If you are getting 30 minutes you're getting 30 minutes and can settle into the flow of the game versus running like a headless chicken because you only have ten minutes before the half.

The guy makes up a story about all 18 not being able to play. He then gets called out for being ignorant. He then changes the story. What we have here folks is someone who knows very little about the youth travel soccer world and yet is a self proclaimed genius on the matter.

For those that want to know the reality, 18 at FCV is several less than almost every single ecnl club at those ages. If you’re not talking about ecnl or GDA your situation isn’t relevant in the college recruiting conversation.

18 at any DA is several less....

I fixed it for you.

Thank you. You’re right. The ecnl clubs are the ones notorious for huge rosters.

Whenever FCV Dad starts his “what we have folks...” monologue, I picture him in a top hat with a handlebar moustache on stage at a carnival. It makes me laugh and makes coming to these boards worth it.

It has nothing to do with league. Ecnl and da both do it.

Every single club is bigger than one age group. That the FCV team had it happen is just luck of the draw. It could have been any team. Last year at FCV the Uw9s and U17s had about 22 players each.

I get it. Your little Mia is an 05, but this isn't just about her age group.

Stalking a roster your kid isn't on is creepy.
