Response to The "ideal" size depends on the coach... |
| My sons team had 28 on the team, it made for a lot of good competition, but you end up with too many good players sitting the bench who then transfer or drop out of soccer. Especially some players who would have done well their jr yr. Coaches will say they need the numbers because of injuries and turnover, but sometime i think this might actually help lead to the turn over.
It would be interesting to get a coaches view on this. I know they're trying to have as many good players as they can to protect themselves but does it help foster what they are trying to eliminate. |
