Our soccer team has so many injuries-- bad knee, hip flexor, concussion, broken collarbone, pulled quad, etc-- that my younger son Ian got to start today . . . and he was playing well but ten minutes into the game he got elbowed in the face, right under his eye-- pretty much a knock-out punch, and while we bandaged up his face and he went back in, it wasn't for long . . . soon enough he was sitting on the bench with all the other injured folks, including my older son (pulled quad) . . . what a mess (although we did win our first GMC tournament game).

i feel your pain (see what i did there?). the girls i coach have a 16-kid roster. we played a tournament last weekend with 11 players in each game due to injuries. probably would've won it with even one or two subs. just ran out of gas in the semis.
multiple games without subs is insane. my friend-- the boys coach at eb-- is lobbying for two-game weeks instead of three-game weeks-- the kids just get too beat up during the course of the season.
