What in you opinion is a great way to "select" team members?  We had to turn away members our first year.  We are school-based, and therefore many parents wanted to participate but did not want to help out...

I should have mentioned that. We are trying to encourage a parent to step up and coach a second team. So far none have accepted, but there's still time. That's actually our first choice, and we are going to push that pretty hard.

Is forming a second team an option? In my experience, a large team is hard to manage.

If you can get some parents to volunteer as assistant coaches, you might want to form two teams of 6-7 and give everyone on the teams a substantial set of responsibilities.

I guess the forum is still broken??

I am pretty sure we will have more than ten kids that will want to be on our team. I have read about some things that teams have done using some of the extra kids to help out, with the understanding that they won't be able to compete. Assuming that there isn't any interest in that, what can I do to get my team down to size? We have a parents and kids meeting scheduled soon, which will be my only chance to meet with them all before we do team selection. What would you look for? Are there some activities that we could do to help us make the selections? Should we go for the smartest & brightest, or something less tangible like personality?
