So LO told him to use the formation that Union uses but not Brave? [/quote]

Yep — Union’s regular formation last night. Most of the 2011 top players (union and braves) were in for very limited minutes because they already have offers and have accepted (about 12 total). There were about 36 players there last night (including 5 GKs) — so the other 24 (of highly varying levels) were being looked at for 4-6 more spots.  I think there were a half dozen players or more who were strong and together with those who are already been secured, will raise the overall level of the team. [/quote]

This!!

I hope CW/LO keeps the roaster size to 18 so they are not playing musical chairs every weekend when the session starts. This is really not fair to the kids and parents. Also, there were a few external girls last night that deserve offers. For now, until the Bethesda, Pipeline and MD United tryouts are complete in Mid April, they need to keep the roaster at 15 and leave 3 or 4 open to see if there are some talent that would come from that direction.

Hoping this is merit based so folks do have to go through this again in a few years. This time there may not be any teams left to merge with.[/quote]

So I haven't coached ECNL, but I imagine it would be a somewhat large risk to keep that many slots open until Mid-April given the current ECNL ID timelines. Do other teams do this?[/quote]

Yes, heard Arlington 2011 made offers to 16 and keeping two slots open for this reason.[/quote]
