[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are all the local MLSNext/ECNL clubs like this - having large rosters? [/quote]

Depends on the club.  On my DD's ECNL team, we traveled to a Dec. showcase out of town with 19 players (roster of 23 - a few injuries).  The coach asked the girls to let him know who should sit out game 1.  The girls needed to take into account attendance, skill, sportsmanship, and hustle.  They banded together and told him they weren't choosing.  He basically scolded them, saying they needed to make tough decisions in life.  HE was a COWARD and lacked any sense of accountability.  Fortunately, the referees allowed the full team to be active for those games.  This was just 1 example of a year's worth of poor communication and coaching.

Set the expectations early and communicate the plan.  Those who are training players should be told that and also should only pay a fraction what others pay.  Having families spend money on travel when their kid will be a spectator makes no sense.[/quote]

Asking the players to vote one off the island would be the definition of clown show. That’s ridiculous.[/quote]
