[quote=Anonymous]Years ago my son played for Potomac. There were 3 teams in the age group and it was common for his B team to bring guest players. These were almost always players from the A team who it was clear were meant to be ringers. Everyone played but these players were not there because the roster was too small because there were always enough subs. I can’t say this was club-wide but it happened all the time on his team. Later he played for other clubs that had 2 teams. I preferred how they used their guest players. B team players were invited to play with the A team and got decent playing time as a reward for showing hard work or improvement. They weren’t ringers. The A team players did “help” the B team but it was generally because there weren’t enough subs. This made sense to me. He played baseball at one time and it was like you described. We traveled overnight to tournaments and outside players would guest while he and his teammates had minimal playing time. It was ridiculous. It seems unethical that outside kids who aren’t paying get more time than those who do. [/quote]
