Therein lies the beauty of having a large organization that you can pool from when you're short players. Clearly on the squad to update but I'd say a lot of the blame falls to the parents of the players who left just before the start of the season. My son was part of a team collapse between the Winter and Spring where 4 or 5 of the best players double registered with another club (without the initial club knowing) and our coaches were constantly scrambling to find enough bodies just so the middies wouldn't collapse.
Only an issue if those kids are playing for multiple teams in the same league and doing it repeatedly. Or if coaches are stacking with outside help from "guest" players. |
