BEWARE Teams Bringing players "down" for Nationals

That should keep him in the guppy tank.

I think we can all agree there are legitimate times for "pick-up" players

1. regular player unable to travel to tournament
2. injured player unable to play

What i think we have a problem with is teams that "stack" their lineups with these players (at the expense of the regular players) in order for the coach or organization to get a trophy- I believe all organizations and parents should clamp-down to stop this-especially since in the long run it benefits nobody

How about an organization that has 3 Gold teams and at PGF Nationals brings in an outside player ...that there is some commitment to the players and all the heartache and expense they went through all summer long now isn't it...and no, it wasn't a So Cal team...it was the Strike Zone...and yes, they did take players down to 16U also...nice

So, to answer the original post's question.... it's PREVALENT!
