[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would someone do this? We have a rec MSI 1st grade girls team. 14 girls signed up, so it was a full team. Only 9 showed up for the game today, so we had no subs. Our girls had to play the entire game, so they were exhausted. They were real troopers, but it’s just annoying that people would sign their kid up and then just bail.

Hoping this isn’t a trend throughout the season. I know it’s only little kid rec, but it isn’t fair to the kids who show up and then have to play 40 minutes of soccer. The other team didn’t have that issue, so they were much more energized.[/quote]

OP, MSI REC for first grade is 4v4.   Most times, they divide it into two teams of 4v4. It’s also four quarters of 10 minutes each per game.

You having 9 players show up is much more than adequate. When my DD was at that age, she and all of her teammates wanted to play the entire game and hated to be substituted out of the game.  They all had plenty of energy to run around on the small-sided field.

I can only appreciate/understand your concern if only 2-3 players showed up. But this is on the volunteer coach and team manager to properly communicate with all the parents to make sure they know when to show up for games/practices.[/quote]

The communication was more than adequate. People just didn’t show up. It’s rude.[/quote]

Several of the teams my kids have played on have used TeamSnap where players can enter their availability, it allows the coaches to plan accordingly. Try that, it's free.[/quote]
