It is nuts. Do you think they will move anyone off?
28 could ruin a team I have seen it on a roster of 25. The top 5 players will start to resent the bottom ten as they sit out on a double rotation due to the roster size, or the bottom 4 will quickly realize they don't belong when they don't see the field in the second half of a close game. Either way it leads to a good portion of the team being miserable.
There was no movement at tryouts. Only additions
No way there will be 28, people are posting that in desperation to keep players on the fence at other clubs.
Of course they don't move existing players down during tryouts. So here's the thing, if it looks like three girls are being added, they will move three down when they announce rosters. The top teams are more apparent as you see what is going on, the bigger guess work is on second and third teams. Say the second team had three new players with them at tryouts, add to that three moving down, now you have a potential of six kids (in this example) being moved off second to third team. It is the trickle down effect that happens in every club, every age group and every team, every year. Teams don't get better by turning away talent because you have enough players already. Honestly the kids and parents who get moved down a team should embrace it as an opportunity to become a impact player on a team more their speed rather than trying to compete over their heads, weather its to 1st, 2nd, 3rd.....team.
