[quote=Anonymous]I think there were a few factors that made it more difficult for clubs to fill out teams at some age groups. The things I observed at U11/U12 age groups were: #1 - Roster sizes generally were raised by 1 for the new 9v9 format. Add one player required for every U11/U12 travel team in the area and that is a decent number of new players required. #2 - New U12 Development Academy pulled out around a 100 players in northern Virginia. I am not aware of any corresponding number of teams being folded. So that is another big chunk of players required to fill out the lower teams. #3 - Kids/families start leaving travel soccer at U11/U12. After a few years they decide in favor of other sports/activities or just decide it's not worth it. But clubs seem to still try to keep the same number of teams so again that is a chunk of players that have to come from somewhere. My guess is there are still a bunch of clubs out there short some players at U11/U12.[/quote]
