What is the recommended roster size?
A. Generally teams carry a roster which makes sense under the circumstances balancing playing time, player availability, and coaches. Fourteen to eighteen players for 11v11, ten to fourteen players for 8v8, eight to ten players for 5v5, and six to 9 players for 4v4. If a roster has less then the minimum, this is often due to a player dropping the team and not notifying the league so they can replace the player. We depend on coaches to inform us if a child has not shown up for practices and games. Q.
