Looks like we might be in for some changes here next year. There's talk of changing the age groupings for the league, which would make us 11-12 yo's instead of 10-12. Going by numbers the past couple of years, it looks like that will change our roster numbers from 25-27 players to 16-20 or so. Got to looking at our returning players and filling out a depth chart offensively and defensively for 18 players is quite different from one for 26 players. We've only had 1 or 2 true MPP type guys a year, so that prolly won't change a whole lot. What it looks like the initial impact will be is that the middle of the pack guys will be playing alongside each other instead of rotating out with each other more.
I haven't even started looking at practice organization and splitting up individual and group work but it could get interesting too. One of the many reasons I love this stuff!

Ive coached in 5 different leagues, under lots of different rules and guidelines One year went from 25 kids to 18- thought it might be an issue- not a big deal at all, in some ways it was better almost preferable. Thank goodness it was NOT the year we had the huge flu epidemic- where entire schools were closed here. One game I had 4 kids out due to the flu. Following season back up to 25

Yeah I think I'm gonna like it. Looks like more reps for everybody, therefore more player development. Assuming we can coach.
