[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s ok for teams to carry this many players when there are clubs with thin rosters all throughout the region.  I’d love to the clubs to get together and all cap rosters at 17 and then work together to find teams for kids who need a team.  The whole tryout window doesn’t meet the needs of players or their families and they are the ones who are paying and driving and giving up their time.  It’s sad that some teams in the area have 24 kids and others are searching for subs.  Not to take away from the competitiveness of things but if you have a good 17 do you need 7 more?  Wouldn’t it be better to play a competitive opponent that has subs rather than have you team winning a game 5-1 and half your team only played 15 minutes?[/quote]

You make this sound like the clubs are here to cater to us, the customers.  Clubs are like any other business.  They all prefer to put their competitors out of business.  From their standpoint, if there are willing customers to pay to be #20 and above, it's the customer's decision.  Why don't we as consumers refuse to join a team who will roster more than 20 players?  I see too many parents + players who care more about the logo and league patch on their jerseys than playing on a lower level team where they'd get more development and playing time.  Paying for the MLS or ECNL patch is just like any other designer label for many customers and clubs know this.  Clubs are catering to what the paying customer is willing to pay for. . .[/quote]
