[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, what age group? As you head into high school, this is typical not just for internal competition, but also because injuries start to multiply as bodies become bigger and stronger. DD's team has a 22 person roster and except for playoffs, I can't recall a recent game where anyone didn't dress involuntarily. [/quote]

These are 2012 girls, most of whom will be in eighth grade in the fall.

From the responses I gather that this kind of system is common. I hear what folks are saying about injuries depleting the number of players who are physically able to be available for games. That's depressing in its own right, though no doubt reality.

The person who asked about the size of the B team raises a good point. I don't know how big the B team roster is. It would be frustrating for those players as well, if top team players who don't dress come and take away playing time for them.

We will just have to prepare DD for a more internally competitive environment.
