Welcome to FTC! There are resources that I know of. Your question isn't too specific to FTC so you should ask questions elsewhere in the forum.
FTC specific resources:
FTC Robotics: Tips, Tricks, Strategies, and Secrets is a book made by a FTC team which contain advice for all aspects of FTC. It costs $10 but well worth the investment.
Resources from CMU, who make RobotC and has a lot of resources on programming with NXT and TETRIX.
Coaches Manual for FTC teams made by FIRST
FTC Blog by the FTC director.
Also, be sure to keep in touch with your regional director so you know what's going on during the FTC season. And if you can, have your team go to the kickoff event if there is one to meet fellow teams.
