Rarely, no more than two from a team. It's supposed to be for younger/smaller players. It's a good idea, in theory. In reality some clubs use it to put ringers on the younger team to help win. It's also inconsistent with the premise that playing with 2-year banded teams challenges the younger ones and makes them stronger players.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Another genius move by USSF. Their motto - do as we say, not as we do.Comment

Designed for technically proficient players whose size has them struggling with the physicality of others their age, this new DA bio-banding program has not yet caught on across the board.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
