The best way is probably to ask around the best you can, not all districts have extensive computer programming classes, but you want somebody that is passionate about programming. Those will make for the best people to recruit. Also don't be afraid to look at the team and see if anyone has any siblings that might be a good fit, I've seen some kids start programming for an FRC team in 7th grade using Labview (if you get a mentor that can teach them it helps too). I'll let you imagine what they do now. (note mentors can also be seniors).
