[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you avoid the bloated rosters?  Seems like that's not going to change any time soon.  So how do you navigate with that as a given?[/quote]Check out the roster sizes of the club program, often it's easily found information.  Check out the roster size of the team year prior if it's already been formed.  Ask vet parents on sideline if they're aware what the club/team has done.  Watch a tournament that's relatively local (good investment of time if you can see how clubs/coaches operate).

Worst case listen at tryouts.  Or if not gotten info by then, ask directly in response to invite selection, if you get one.[/quote]

Yeah but the DMV teams are all huge except maybe Madlax.  So what do you do then?[/quote]

Find the best team where you can play period.  Or beat out somebody in front of you is also an option.  If you kill it they will NEVER leave a player on the bench if it brings them wins. As for Madlax I have maybe seen one or two players at most make it to the top team from DMV-ML, Orange-DCE, or Red-NL.[/quote]

There are way too many examples of favoritism in youth sports. There's also a ton of envelopes being spread around. The idea the best play the most is not true. [/quote]

The best players play. If you think your kid is losing playing time due to favoritism, it might be true, but he is also not one of the best players. [/quote]
