I believe the 2nd team rosters are built to accommodate those who are rarely ever rostered. They did create a third team pool for players not getting playing time on the 2nd teams. FWIW, there is movement to the 1st team but it’s very very small - 1 or 2 prob a year prob. |
2-3 games per week? The schedules I see average about 1 per week. |
| That's a tough situation but they are probably worried you won't have enough kids to play games if you only roster 15 or 16. At that age, with other commitments and injuries, you would need to have backup players. Hopefully there are a lot of games - some clubs might just join two leagues and try to play more games and then rotate the roster. |

Its tryout season! Please elaborate! |
| PP is a troll. It is Hs season, combining 2 teams to make sure they have enough for games and training during the spring as most players are playing Varsity or JV soccer. |
If NVU created a team of 31 players for spring, how is pp a troll for wanting to discuss that? |
A spring training/match pool for players not playing high school. Lucky if half of them show up for training and games. They are not in season, they could be like Bethesda and offer nothing when olders are in HS season. |
\ If only half show up, you have a whole regular size team. It depends on what was presented in the offer as what the consumer was purchasing for the spring season. |
Don’t a bunch of clubs not even really have a spring season for the high school age players, despite paying for the full year? I feel like I have seen this complaint in other threads. |
Our HS age team played ECNL RL in the fall and is playing EDP in the spring. I would not be happy if we had no spring games. What would we be paying for? |
What club? |
| 31 is a lot but older kids always carry large rosters. In my experience it's been more like 25-28ish. Lots of injuries and busy schedules. |

My kid hasn’t been to a club practice in a few months. Full go on HS |
