[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's competitive at our team. But we have had the same summer coach for a decade so they know almost all the kids coming up who apply. The coach makes the decisions. It's his employees and his team. [/quote]

Sounds similar in terms of coach longevity for us.

Our head coach has been with us for about five years and has kids on the team. They're also a PVS coach, so they have the creds to back it up. While our hiring process for the assistants isn't competitive (i.e., there hasn't been an interviewing process as long as I've been around because we don't have enough candidates), our assistants are phenomenal and all have been involved on a number of levels over the years. The Team Reps runs the names of all interested kids by the Head Coach (who knows all of them very well), and the Coach will decide if they want those kids on their staff. Once those decisions are made the only involvement the Reps have after that is to get the contracts written and signed - the Head Coach handles the rest.

I always find it incredible to read about teams that have a competitive hiring process or committees to handle all manner of team-related tasks and activities. Us lower-division teams barely have enough parents to fill our volunteer jobs a meet, let alone get them to be involved in non meet-related jobs![/quote]
