12 players, 6 field players (excluding goalie):

I like smaller rosters.  Kids get better by playing 45 min vs only 30.

Some of our teams have purposely kept small rosters for this reason.  Yea—very occasionally we will have no subs on the bench, but the kids LOVE it.

My kid’s U10 team currently has a full team on the bench and just isn’t enough playing time for everyone.  These 8/9 year olds could run all day and never get tired.[/quote]

We are playing travel U11 this year. On most teams it will be 14-15 players for 9v9. We have 15 including a GK that plays all minutes so 14 field players rotate into the 8 spots. Also at U11 games are 50 minutes, 25 each half. On competitive teams playing time is not equal and kids start have more set positions. We play a 3-3-2 most of the time. So the team might have 4 forwards, 6 midfielders and 4 backs. Most of the time the forward and mids rotate more because they are running and sprinting more, whereas some defenders may play the whole game. It varies by position.[/quote]
