Elevate has the perfect business model. Reduce the team to 18 players. More playing time and get rid of the dead wood on the roster. I am a TG 2020 parent, and I hope TG follow suit. I would bet that all parents would shell out an extra $200 per year to keep the roster at 18. I know I would pay the extra money to keep the roster at 18 and keep out the kids that can't play.
Folks, the Elevate website says maximum of 20 players in 2016-2018 and maximum of 22 for 2019-2024. The below is directly from their website (spelling issue included).
TRYOUT INFORMATION FOR 2014 - 2015 Season:
This upcoming year, we are lowering the roster sizes for all of our teams. We want to see kids get more playing time in tournaments.
Each team from 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 will have a maximum roster size of 22 players.
Our recruitbale year teams - 2016, 2017 and 2018 (all teams - Red, White & Blue) will have a maximum roster size of 20 players. This will allow each player to have the maximum amount of exposure at recruiting events.
