It can be true because people let it be true. As long as people are willing to pay to be one of 30 or more, clubs will continue to keep big rosters. Can’t get quality playing time with a roster that large. I don’t understand why people would want to sign up for that…..and it isn’t just Express that does it anymore. There is no viable reason to keep more than 22-24 as the absolute most on a roster.

I think most B teams have that 22-24 number. It’s the A teams. And I don’t blame the clubs. It’s the parents that have gone to multi day tourneys this summer and saw their kid play less than 5 minutes?
