In GoF, we find out that Oliver Wood made the reserve team for 
Puddlemere United after Hogwarts.  If professional teams have 
reserve players, it makes sense that school teams would, too.

Also, in PoA, when Gryffindor is getting ready to play Ravenclaw, 
Wood tells the team that he's surprised to find Cho is playing 
seeker for Ravenclaw, because she's had "problems with injuries in 
the past."  That implies that Ravenclaw has a reserve seeker who 
plays when Cho is hurt.
