If this is what's happening at your club it's not good. It sounds like you're running starters most of the game.

If you're playing and coaching a high level possession style offense and training all players the same and to the same level it makes the most sense to run 2 lines. Then midway through the half you switch lines. The reason this is important is because it forces players to focus on possession and distributes minutes as evenly possible to as many players as possible. When more players get minutes you end up with players that are all interchangeable on a team. Do this long enough and your club will be known for playing a certain style.

This is how you maintain large rosters, and keep everyone happy. Also because of possession and 2 lines you should be able to out cardio other teams and then capitalize when they get tired.[/quote]

We're talking about rosters larger than 18.  So someone is staying home.  What ECNL game have you ever watched where play time is even?  There are starters on both teams who don't come out.  So, there are between 4-6 sub positions and even those aren't 50% game minute positions.

This league from what I've seen is only about wins.  Players 1-5 are vastly different level vs 16-20 or 21-25.  Even teams at the bottom of the table do the same thing.  If you're losing every game anyway, why not roster 18 or less and play half a game for everyone?  I think even those teams want to show other teams that the better players will play full game minutes. Advertising to the rotational players of the better teams in the league that you can come here and play more minutes.  I know a girl from a top team, who rode the bench go to a lower level team and she's now one who plays full game minutes.  [/quote]
