In Soccer a club has a 'Reserve Team'. A Reserve Team is a team full of players who the manager believes is not ready to play for the first team. Or when a player has been injured for a while, a manager would put him in the Reserve Team to get him back into the swing of Soccer. A Reserve Team are in a League and they play regularly. For example, Arsenal have a Reserve Team which Arsene Wenger put Aaron Ramsey in for a while as he had just returned from a year-long injury. Also, he placed Jay Emmanuel-Thomas in the Reserve Team who is 18 and Arsene Wenger didn't believe he was ready to play for the First Team.
