I am looking for some feedback on what reasoning is behind this. Why would a youth soccer club place 22 youth players on a roster for one team? Every game someone is upset with limited playing time or required to be there with no playing time. Comparing to other teams 16 players seems to be the norm. I have not seen a competing team yet with 22 players. What positive reasoning would make this worth the tears for kids not playing the game?

Players are averaging 15 minutes of playing time. No momentum or consistency. Reason? $$$$$ for the club.

22 Youth Players On Team????
My kid's team only has 13 players on the team. We play teams with 7 reserves, etc. It is hard during the 2nd half of the game...players are tired. I only wish we had more players on the roster - 3/4 players would be nice. Coach says he is looking for quality (and not quantity). The good part being part of this team, my kid gets playing time & is happy. :)
The club my kid played on last season had many on the roster. It was about the $$$. I was tired of giving the money to support the clubs top DA teams.

What region are these clubs from? We could be talking about 3-4 clubs spread out over all of Florida (Which has hundreds of clubs). Or are we talking about a specific area where this kind of thing is considered business as usual (South Florida, Central Florida, The panhandle, the Gold Coast, etc)?

For older boys teams I can see it for a couple of reasons.
First, at this age you can have multiple players injured at any time.
Second, competition for a spot on the roster and playing time is good. Player that know they will be rostered regardless don't feel the pressure to improve. The players that show up, work hard, and develop will get all the playing time they need.

True most do not our team also 22. Im ok with that except we are trying to be competitive and every week he picks new line up. problem is the team never can settle. I don't care if your rec or competitive you need a starting line up and they are the go to unless they are hurt or sick. all the moving around just puts off the better players because they go to practice work hard then sit when a very bench players starts for no reason other than favoritism or lack of the coach understanding the game. This happens every year at club and DA

As the above poster said, yes, it breeds a poor attitude and discourages continued hard work.
