[quote=Anonymous]Some reasons for the large roster:

- It makes it very important to bring your best to practice to make the roster for that weekend.
- Injuries happen a lot so bigger roster you have more to choose from.
- Kids have a lot of activities and may not always be able to attend games - so more to choose from.
- It's getting kids ready for the next level cause from here on out they will be forever be competing to make the roster for the weekend.
- It allows the club to teach the style of play where you may need more than 18 players.  I've seen some practices where the team is broken down into 3 small teams of 7/8 players to teach something.
- It allows the team to scrimmage 11v11 - meaning more game time.

For teams at my DC's club that have large rosters they dual roster the players.  Meaning if a player does not get selected for the weekend, the coach will contact the lower team(s) so the player can play a game that weekend.

And yes, the club is a business and they aren't looking to lose money so if you're signing your kid up for these large roster teams you must be good with it.
