My son's team had seven out at one time. We played the last game of the year with three goalkeepers, two on the field, to get 11 healthy kids on the field.

That’s what happens once they hit HS. The play is more rough and the bodies are growing at a rapid pace. The injuries take weeks to recover not days.

I've noticed this happening more with basketball despite more kids around us playing soccer. I know soccer gets brutal, I had a couple of concussions in high school through college. Basketball just seemed like the least injury prone sport but its not playing out like that here. Even baseball/softball used to mean more injuries than I've seen. Its very anecdotal but has anyone else noticed less injuries in soccer than before?

19 is probably too small for a HS age team. 22 is about right once you have all the injuries factored in. My player's team was 23. And we routinely had 3-4 out on injury every week.

alpha bet soup. So many great kids past over because coaches don't know what they are doing on FVU.

We are in ECNL down south and the teams are around 20. I dont know how they handle regulations for a full attendance but it seems to be the norm for team size.

Thanks

But they can only bring 18 to a game righr

You can look up current roster sizes on the ECNL website:

Current roster
FVU: 23
VDA: 19

Does anyone know how many players FVU or VDA will put on a team for boys u15?
