We have found that the ideal roster size is Multifaceted players allow us to keep roster size manageable (and playing time for everyone a reality). The more things a player can do (field, hit, run, pitch) and the more positions they can play- the more they increase their chances of filling a roster spot- provided they do these things better than their competition.

The more things a player can do (field, hit, run, pitch) and the more positions they can play- the more they increase their chances of filling a roster spot- provided they do these things better than their competition. Juniors who do not make Varsity will have the option of playing Junior Varsity. Seniors who do not make the roster will be let go.
