I think thats silly to not let anyone go because not everyone can.

The reality is for EVERY team is that not everyone goes everywhere. So, by your coaches logic, you guys would never go anywhere (cause not everyone could go). Thats silly.

Basically what our team does is: Whoever wants to go (assuming they are a real contributor to the team), can go. BUT, our team does not fund all the trips (its not in the budget). Say 15 people want to go to Houston, and the team has $5000 in the bank. Divide the $5000 by the 15 people, each person gets $333 payed for by the team...The rest each person has to find the money themselves - if they can't, they can't go.

Money aside, there are lots of other things to prevent someone from going on a trip: Illness, family (goodness knows parents can get in the way...lol), etc..

Summary: Tell your coach that (s)he's nuts.
