I only call upon guest players when conflicts or injuries put my number below 11 players for a tourney. Then, I use them like every other kid on the team. I try and invite a kid that has the skill set I am missing. If you ask a kid to be a guest, then she has to be pretty dang good. If you don't play them like everyone else, then you can bet its the last time they will play for you. Its pretty simple, if you ask a family to give up a weekend, you better make it a positive experience. Put yourself it their shoes...

I like your philosophy, although I'm very comfortable w/ 10 players. I would not add a guest player to get to 11. The last team I coached (12U) had 10 players on the roster all year. As a parent now, I'd rather our coach go w/ 10 than add an 11th.
