How To Form A Team
How To Join A Team
Teams may be all around you or you may need to form your own team.
Check with school, local organizations, or friends to see if a team in
your area has openings. If you can't find one, it's easy to form a team.
How To Form A Team
A team consists of:
- 5-10 kids ages 9-14 (boys, girls, or both)
- An administrative coach (not required, but recommended)
- A technical coach (you don't need to be an engineer - a basic knowledge of how things work is sufficient)
Costs:
The cost of participation in FLL generally ranges from $800 for new teams to $450 for returning teams
Time Commitment:
Once the challenge is released (early in September), a team typically meets
once or twice a week for about two hours. This depends on the age (and
thus ability to maintain focus), and other time constraint issues.
Separate technical and administrative coaches can significantly reduce
the work load of running a team and increase the fun for the kids and
adults.
To Register:
Registration usually opens in early May and ends in late September. To register
your team and get started, you can go to the official FLL registration
website at gofll.usfirst.org (Click here to get there). Please follow the steps presented on the website.
If you would like to have someone to talk to about activity in your
local area or about forming a team, you can contact our Illinois
INSciTE representative by e-mail at contactfllillinois@gmail.com
