    Depends on where your kid is ranked in the coaches mind. If your at the bottom 3rd of the roster your player will (hypothetically) get to practice with the better players at the club at a higher level of training. They will not get to travel with the team to away games due to travel roster restrictions. They will probably be limited to 10 - 15 min a game when they play.

    However, the reality is kids get hurt, sometimes with season ending injuries or get pulled to go to Nationals. Then your player will get to have a more playtime.

    Large rosters are meant to develop more kids to a certain level so that there is little drop off from the starting 11 to the relief 11. In reality, they are assurance down the line for injuries.

    If your player is there for the training no big deal. If playtime is an issue for your player, then it will probably get old and my experience is 1/2 of those relief 11 typically asked to get moved back down to a team where they will play more or be released to another club.

      Revenue generator. They are trying to pack as many players as they can onto the roster. More kids = more $$$.

        Completely nuts to register for a program with 24 kids roster. Weston is seeing sucker written all over your face.

        Would you knowingly buy oversold airplane tickets? Only if you are friends with the airline staff and assured a seat.

        One year rationalizing and explaining to your kid that the other 16 kids are better, but that he needs to keep trying? Paying full price without the right to travel out of town and play?

        Want college coaches to always see you in the bench?

        Good luck with your decision. It all depends on your self-awareness of how good is your kid.

          I'd leave the club. Seriously, who rosters 24 players - that's more than two full teams! This is a recipe for disaster. The coach has no time to coach everyone in practice, the kids who are left behind when the team goes to games and tournaments lose interest and become dead weight (their parents also become a problem because they paying for nothing) and the whole team dynamic turns to ****, with the kids fighting with each other over playing time, the coaches attention, etc. In no time at all you will have two informal "teams" the coaches favorites, who get to travel and play, and the money bitches, who pay for others to play. This is an especially bad dynamic for younger kids or when kids who get playing time don't regularly attend practice. No team should roster more than 15-16 kids imho.

            Agree 100%

            They will try to sell you the whole DA thing but in reality they will never give your kid a look. He has a better chance coming in from the outside.

            Don't fall for it.

              I was in the meeting, as much as I like to bash Jerome, he said they “could” roster that many, not that they would. He said 15-16 is what he wants to do . The rest of the roster will be DP players that primarily play on another team.

                That's it in a nutshell. And if your kid is bottom third of that 24 kid roster, it's like being the ugliest Kardashian. Sure you get some perks, but no one will notice you or invite you to the big parties.

                      My daughter's team had multiple knee and foot injuries this year, not to mention concussions. Believe it or not, sometimes a roster of 20 doesn't seem enough depending on when the injuries occur and how severe. You need a deep bench as injuries are part of sport and only having 15 to 16 kids on your team is asking for trouble. But 24 is way too many. Question is what is the magic number?

                        I heard the same. The expectation is for those DP to get substantial playing time on another Team {their primary} and fill in when appropriate.

                          So someone told you what the maximum roster size was . . . did you ask him how many they would like to carry or did you just freak out to TS making assumptions? I'm pretty sure FYSA allows older teams to roster 22 players but that doesn't make it mandatory. Are you freaking out again???

                              Weston has had more national camp invites than Orlando City. Your point?
