[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that clubs share some of the blame here. Clubs should be forthcoming about the level of a team and where the player fits in. [b]That said, with so many girls trying out these days, it’s a little surprising that clubs would be offering spots to players that aren’t at the same level as the rest of the team.[/b]

For clubs that aren’t super competitive, one thing they should do is limit roster size to a max of 12, and 10/11 would be even better. With 6 players plus a libero in the lineup at any given time, having a smaller bench of 4-5 players that need to get playing time is a lot easier.

For newer players/families, look for clubs/teams that have some amount of guaranteed playing time. While not perfect, clubs that claim to have this generally at least make some effort to get everyone into matches. [/quote]
Maybe they offer those spots to players that are are at the same level as the rest of the team, but those players decide to accept a different offer. Now the club Has the option to offer the spot to an alternate (who may not be at the same level), pull someone up from the team #2 (who - again - may not be at the same level), or limit the roster size. Limiting the roster size does not make sense financially, so you may end up with a weaker player on the top team roster. [/quote]
