They sub of course but not sure the bottom kids see much daylight in competitive games. That can influence whether you want to move on or whether it's worth it to move up. Don't know the answer to the age old question of lots more playing time vs practicing with better players and better coaching. Not a knock on a very good team, just an observation.


You are absolutely correct that roster size is important. That is why the Madlax 2024 team that your son played in HoCo had a roster of ONLY 17 kids. Not sure how you can get any leaner than that. The owner did add some kids for summer, but that was to account for back-to-back games in the heat, and kids missing.


Website has 25 kids listed on roster.
