That's kind of where we are. We started with six carryovers from our rec fall league and already offered spots to the top three kids from tryouts, all of whom accepted. We haven't offered the fourth kid on our list yet but we will...the problem is that the next three are all so close it's hard to decide on one.
We're going to be a young 10U team (just four 10s) and obviously plan on staying together next season. Is it worth it to carry a couple of extra kids with letting the kids and parents know up front that playing time may not be what they want this year, but even with that, this is a chance to practice and get better for next season so when the four 10s move up, they'll be able to slide right in?
