I thought 16 was enough for 11v11 as I wanted to maximize playing time but the reality for teams of high school age is that injuries mean you will lose players during the season, that's almost a certainty. I'll hold my hands up I was wrong about roster sizes years ago when I started in club (for olders anyway). If someone tries out and they are not at the required standard for your team, don't add them and smile about the $'s.point them in the direction of another team that is likely a better fit. Yes, I know it's $'s when you add a player but as a coach it causes you playing time headaches and from a players' perspective, it's simply unfair.

What happened was couple of players could not play or played less than 5 minutes at the game of all 18 players showed up. I prefer to 16 for 11v11, but my son's team has 18.
