In my first year on an FLL team, the team was run exclusively by high school students acting as mentors. When we signed up they required us to have one of our parents agree to "chaperone" the team at a portion of the practices. The parents would then rotate each practice, thus avoiding the time committment issue. The official coach for the team was usually the principal for the school, they simply would just put their name on the program and then sign stuff if necessary, but the mentors handled all of the administrative duties. This isn't the ideal program but it worked well enough.
