[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Four players aren't rostered each game, but those players are rotated.  Game day roster decisions are based on what the coach accesses is needed to be most competitive against the opponent.  It probably works because the roster does not have any weak links. Sure, every player has their strengths and weaknesses.  But as a whole, the team works well together regardless of which players are on the field.  There are several players who are versatile - although they may prefer one position, they are competitive playing at least one other. [/quote]

How many are those for non-dressing spots rotated among? Are you saying that you can start one day and not dress the next or is it the same six or seven kids each game? [/quote]

Although there are a handful (plus or minus a couple) who have started every game, the starting line-up varies.  But to answer the question, most players have not been rostered for one or two of our league games; so the players who haven't dressed have changed/been rotated equally, for the most part.  There have been games when someone is sick or injured, so self-selected not to play. Players not rostered show up anyway, participate in warm ups and watch the game.

Tell that to the U18 Union girls with a roster of 30+ or the 07s with 24. Even with injuries, you have several players not rostered who do not “self-select” not to play. They are told they are not rostered. Often the same players sit. They didn’t sign up as practice players. They were told they were on the team. It’s the McLean way. FCV too (and now VRSC). [/quote]

It's just so sh!tty. For many of them, this is going to be their last year of competitive soccer. And they'll watch it from the bench (while still "getting" to practice).[/quote]
