Did You Know: Strategy 2.F
2018-05-07
Each team must have a minimum number of players on their roster to start a season and to play a game. Mandate: 2022
Mandating a team's roster size at the start of a season with a minimum number of players makes sure that teams have enough players to continue during a season should in-season injuries occur.
The recommended maximum to begin thinking of alternative options is a threshild at which having too many players restricts the ability for all players to get playing time of adequate development opportunities.
Questions about the upcoming changes, please don't hesitate to reach out to Ontario Football Executive Director, Tina Turner at director ontariofootball.ca!
