    U15 (2003) boys. Finished 3rd in MRL Premier 1 last spring. Lost in Semi-final of state. Coach signs 12 players to the team back in June for the fall and lists 4 as "pool" players, saying he'll take 2 of the 4 after he sees them play some more.

    One of the pool players drops out. So we have 15 on the "roster" (he hasn't named the other three pool players to the team, but they're participating in all practices/games)

    Fast Forward to the fall season:
    1 boy tears his MCL. Out until January
    1 boy tears his meniscus. Out until January
    1 boy breaks his leg. Out until January
    DS pulled his hamstring, was out for two weeks, back for two weeks, then sprained his ankle. He just returned last week.
    1 boy gets a concussion playing school basketball. Out until March
    1 boy broke his arm yesterday playing indoor.

    Did I mention we're going to the Disney Showcase next week?

    The good news is we've won three league games and went 1-1-1 at the CASL Showcase even with the injuries.

    Anyone have a Jobu doll (from the movie Major League)?

    We were 0-22-0 in just the Spring alone last season. I have no sympathy :D
