2 kids are in the running for our Team MVP. Both were very good players for us but one was at every single summer workout and the other rarely, if ever showed up.
One also missed a practice for a BS reason.
The one who missed practice and all of the summer workouts is winning. Curious as to your guys thoughts on what to do.
Thanks

Give it to the kid who showed up.
The coaches always have the final say. Just tell the kids that they voted for the other one.

As stated, coaches always have the final say. We don't even let the players vote for MVP. The coaches decide.

We have the kids vote, but tell them we have veto power. They just sort of shrug and vote for the most deserving player anyway. We've never had to exercise the veto power, but would in the case described above. And, as stated, you don't have to tell them you exercised the veto anyway. Just tell them that's how the vote played out.

Fudge the numbers, they'll never know. Recognize and reinforce the commitment level of the kid that was at every workout over the summer and didn't miss a practice. The last thing you want to do is create an environment where the kids feel like they don't have to work hard and they'll still be in the running for awards like MVP. That would be the message sent if the other kid wins the award. JMO.

For us - each of my assistant coaches gets 2 votes and I get as many as I want... seems fair and works out as "we" want it to every time...
haha
