Team Organization and Recruiting

Unfortunately my team suffers from a similar problem, First Lady. We go though an interview process every year and share with the teachers what we have learned that year. Also, we tell them our where we want to be at the close of the next year. This works very well but, not always do you see a kid who will do absolutely nothing before they make it to the team. Just remember that keeping a kid on the team who takes little interest in the team is denying another kid the FIRST experience.

Exactly! When you tell someone that your team has reached its capacity, and then have students who are not really pulling their weight (and we have a variety of opportunities that could interest just about anyone) is it fair to the student you turned away?
