We don't have that problem where I'm at.   We have a very healthy board with mostly general consensus.

Don’t fool yourself here. This happens in your org. I know it happens at several age groups.

What separates Westmoreland from South Hills in 18U?

The coach for SHAHA 18u AA is the PAHL league officer 1st Vice president. That’s one thing that separates them from Westmoreland

That sucks, especially since you had the headcount at tryouts to field one or even two teams.

Question - since your tryouts were open to spectators, do you think there was any chance mom or dad got in their kids ear to dissuade them from accepting their spot on the AA team because the parents felt it was not a good fit for their kid or that the grass may be greener elsewhere and the talent was not up to "their" standards?  My gut says "yes" but what do I know.  

My son was at the SPR tryouts and the organization defiantly did not select the best kids for the SPR 18U AA team. Hands down. This is why the other kids declined and moved on. It was not the declines that doomed the team but the talent that was selected.
