You can check the schedule to see which team is not in the tournament then invite their players.

Actually there are lots of players looking forward to play some extra games. I have asked some opportunities for my u12 son but no luck so far.


OP said that their club is all in tournaments this weekend. That seems standard to me for Memorial Day

Our 9v9 team has 14 players, we could certainly spare one or two for a higher level team's tourny.

I feel you, we've played games with no subs before. Maybe let the ref know you don't have any subs and have a water break in each half.

Also, I've see before the opposite team lending a player. Maybe bring an extra jersey?


Our team has leant before no big deal, but it goes down as a forfeit

At least (if it's local) the weather won't be unbearably hot, which may make it easier for the 10 players to tolerate the extra playing time.

With older kids they sort this out for themselves by asking friends whe necessary.


OP here. My daughter has friends that play rec, but they wouldn't have player cards.


Well, you have one sub. There are worse situations!

Actually, its likely too late to get carded guest players anyhow as they need to be registered to the team days ahead of tournaments in most cases.


Thank you, that is good info. Unfortunately, the teammates who cannot make it encountered circumstances outside their control, so it is really not their fault, just unfortunate.
