DA
If have thought something along similar lines. Let the "stars" be the ones who don't get pulled. Let the rest of the team get more game time experiences to develop.Further thoughts -- some have claimed that the no-re-entry rule is valuable because it exposes players to what they will experience at the elite levels. With about 90 teams (looking at the older boys clubs here), there might be 2 to 4 players on a typical DA club roster of 20 or so who have any hope of being called up to National teams at any age. So let the team declare who those players are on the game roster - those few are limited to no re-entry, and the coach can do what he likes with the rest of the squad, including pulling them off for a short time for rest, possible injury analysis, or explanation of their errors as needed, without limits to their re-entry rights.
After all virtually none on these teams are going to end up playing on the national team, but a large percentage will play in college. And to be honest most players/parents look at DA as a way to play college soccer.
