[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. I haven’t seen any very large rosters on Stingrays. I know for a fact that players have not been offered a spot on the team, and some have not been invited to return.[/quote]

10U does it some years - in my experience having more than 12 kids at that age is considered large and they often do. Not sure about any other age groups. And of course there are plenty of other organizations that carry more than 12 players at 10U regularly. McLean Magic carries huge rosters.[/quote]

As the spouse of a coach on one of the teams on this thread, I can tell you that on any given weekend you can have one girl out sick, one with a family commitment and one with some other conflict. That puts you in a tournament with 9 girls to play. You need backups at pitcher and catcher at a minimum. Girls get injured, dehydrated, whatever. And not so many families in this space commit to being there in the way that they should. Our team carries 15 girls and we still had to play a tournament game in the fall with 8 on the field bc of homecoming, a holiday and family wedding and 1 illness. FWIW, we won![/quote]
