Reply to "How many players should a HS varsity team have?"

2017 son's HS (~5,600 kids) has

20 Varsity (0 freshman, 2 sophomores), grew to 26 for playoffs from younger teams.

21 on JV

18 on one 9th grade team

16 on the other 9th grade team

The two 9th grade teams each cut ~15 at tryouts.

20 varsity seems like a lot, but not so much considering the number of players you have to beat out to be one of the twenty...
