[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question for you all, I am a coach for a non-ecnl girls team.

Some ecnl programs make it very clear that they are looking for the best players available. For example if a roster is complete, and a better player comes along enough to start, they will take that player and bump someone off playing time.

What happens to the player, do they just languish on the roster and not play? Let's say the bumped off player is just way too good to be playing in RL, do they just not play at all or what happens? How is this communicated to the parents? Is the player dropped or do they just keep them on the roster

When comparing NL vs RL rosters there isn't much difference in the #17/18/19 player of an NL roster vs the #1/2/3 on an RL roster, so saying the player is "too good to be playing RL" I'd assume they're probably in the middle of the pack, maybe a fringe starter on the NL roster or they're not actually too good to be playing RL.  Either way, their playing time will be cut or have to be earned back - if that player was playing 45/50 mins of a game, they might play 30/35 mins now.

The player won't be dropped mid season, they'll just get less playing time if they don't earn it back.  Coaches do what coaches do for playing time and typically those conversations only happen if the player/parent initiates those conversations and they'll usually get the response of "fielding the best 11 and/or give feedback on what improvements the player needs to make to get more playing time."[/quote]

+1 the bottom of the national team and top of regional are pretty much interchangeable.
