We use outside judges. We've had MAJOR issues in the past where the coaches judge and little Suzie didn't make the team and the parent going straight to the administration saying the coach doesn't like her and chose favorites. Even went to the superintendent once. So we use outside judges to avoid this happening.
Why not just say "you're right, I don't like your kid and I don't want her on the team because she's uncoachable?"
Outside judges are a scapegoat for people who don't have the guts to stand up and say "I made this decision for this reason." If it's because the kid didn't deserve to be on the team, so be it. If it's because the coach ran a shady tryout, that's on the coach.
