How Do I Join/Form A Team?

How Do I 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.

For assistance finding funding, contact karla.andrew@wku.edu.

 

How Do I 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 $600 for new teams to $300 for returning teams

Time Commitment:
Once the challenge is released (mid-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 register4fll.com (Click here to get there). Please follow the steps presented on the website.

Registration is Now Open for the 2007 Season
