I'm only talking about the 14U teams at the regionals, and Paramount 14-1 is I believe the only one with 15 players. Metro 14 Travel and MD Juniors 14 Black have 13 each. I understand players at 17 or 18 may choose to sit on the bench at Metro or Paramount in order to go to a D1 college. But at 14, they are still young and developing, and not playing in games is in my opinion a big loss.[/quote]

13 v 15 is not a difference. A number of kids are still not playing in a given game/match. So seems like the top 3 14s teams all have 13-15 kids on their roster which means 7-9 kids on the bench at any given time. Perhaps the training these kids are receiving in the 6+ hours a week they are practicing still gives them a net benefit? There's a HUGE range of coaching talent in this region. In any event like others said roster size is well known at the start of a season and I would expect people going to these clubs in particular are making informed decisions.[/quote]

I think 13 vs 15 still make a difference. I get older age group taking more on their roster due to possible injury, but at 11-14, I feel everyone including players and clubs will benefit from smaller roster. More reps during practice could help. Top national clubs like circle city carry only 10-11 players and all of them are good. I wonder if smaller roster contribute to developing these girls.

Just a thought. [/quote]
