[quote=Anonymous]A few things from spending way too much time on the sidelines:

1) At that age, if one team has just enough and the other has lots of subs, have a few kids from Team A play for Team B for half (then pick other kids).
2) As previously mentioned, it's impossible to know what practices/games you'll be able to make when you're only given the schedule days in advance: ASA is particularly bad at this.
3) Few kids is better because the kids actually get to play a lot, and that's key to getting better.  DD once played on a lacrosse team with 26 kids, only 10 of whom played at a time.  That was a huge waste of time/money.
4) When it's that hot there should be regular water breaks for little kids (there were on Saturday for my 11-year-old, non-rec player). But still, kids who really want to play will be super excited to play the whole game!
5) This is not something that'll get better as the kids get older.  From 2nd-5th at least, kids are trying multiple sports and without any set times they can all overlap.  Only other option would be for parents to say, "My kid is only playing soccer from now on", but that's not fair to the kid who may actually prefer baseball instead if they had the chance.
