[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, coach here again. I asked this because I coach Girls RL and how the process is done is more of a black box to me. I wanted to get your parents perspective on how this works and how it's communicated to you.

The messaging that I get is that "we are looking for the best players no matter what".

You can have someone starting in midfield, and then out of nowhere, another player transfers into the club from Bethesda or somewhere else, and now the started becomes a sub.

Then the sub has to go play in RL because the player above them got bumped down.

Some ECNL rosters look so big that you could put a starting 11 of them on an RL roster, PLUS the existing RL roster already has 20+ so someone has to be sitting out and not playing. Clubs do not seem to want this to be widely now, but if an ECNL team has 25-30 and the RL team has 20-25, a lot of players have to be sitting and not playing.

Was just trying to get an idea of your experience as parents since I am in the dark about a lot of this.[/quote]
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]

Does any club do it that way? Playing half the game seems like a good way to run off your best players [/quote]
