Each season we "call out" about 100. Then we do several months of intense fund raising- sales, car washes, events. That means lots of work to do to support the team.

By the end of that we are down to half.

Right now we are looking at 45. Everyone has some committee they are working for and the responsibilities are delegated out there. We even have a group of active alumni who still haven't left- (like the Volcano Man)- who are integral members of the group.

Frankly, as team advisor, I don't want 100 kids hanging around and being a behavioral situation who are only there because they expect a free trip. There is more to being on a team than just showing up at a meeting. I do want responsible, active kids who want to participate enough to do the fund raising and such without being a burden to the group.

I wouldn't be too concerned that some of your kids leave. Check out WHY they leave and ask yourself- "do I really misss those particular individuals?". Building your team is far more important than building any robot. Only you can determine what you want your team to be.
