What's the correct number of attack, midi's and poles for a team to be successful at this age? New to the sport...
usually 20-24 kids on a team at this age. That can vary depending on talent. based on the i would say 5-6 attack, 7-9 mids (O, D, and two way), 5-6 long poles, 1-2 LSM, and 1-2 Faceoff.
No more than 21 players.
Any competitive club that rosters more than 22 is basically looking to collect cash from a bunch of bench warmers.
We are now at an age where kids have pretty significant stamina. Top clubs are going to let the best players play. That means the top 3 attack will play most of the game and #4 or #5 will get a few minutes at most. At midfield, if the team is using 2 SSDM's and 1-2 LSM's you will only need 3-5 offensive mids. At Defense, max of 5 players because on man down, your LSM is going to be on the field. Add in 2 goalies and 1-2 Faceoff mids.
Ideal numbers for playing time and effectiveness would be:
Attack 4 O Mid 4 Faceoff 2 D Mid 2 LSM 2 Def 5 Goalie 2
