If it’s not, and your daughter is on the bench, she needs to talk to the coach or she needs to find another team before next year.

Which teams do this? I know some teams split time in high school strictly, but I always assumed that was not the norm for the top teams. Do the top MD teams actually sprit time evenly in high school?
It was the norm for at least two top 5 teams this past weekend! I know at least one team was definitely out to win as some of their top players never left the field - and it wasn't Coppermine!

So you're saying Coppermine's top players left the field? You must be joking.

Coppermine's top players were on the field for the majority of the games we saw them play.

Coppermine only had 3 or 4 subs this weekend in the games I saw. All girls rotated into the game. Do the math (it's pretty easy math too) that all girls were on the field for the majority of the games.

Which is exactly why they have a small roster. Haters wanted to believe it's because they couldn't get girls, but they cut players and sent at least a few decent players to the B team. They have a small roster because they don't want to have to sub. Honestly, knowing how they play, it was the right thing to do. Far better than having girls on the bench who don't get in the game.

I was impressed with Coppermine this weekend. I am not sure what caused the 11-1 loss to eaglestix, but they are certainly still at top team. that shows exactly how much talent they had over the past few years that they could lose so many good players and still be very competitive. I am glad they didn't fold and the girls still there are sticking around because they are still really good team.
