If you find that most of your members come from FLL backgrounds, know that their programming is actually based on LabView; they might find visual languages easier to handle.
The first question when selecting a language is the ease of transition. If someone already knows in C++, C#, etc. and can teach that, then you should first consider those. We use Java because of our programming class at the our high school – we've got a background in it already.
Unless, of course, your point is to teach your team a knew language in the first place.
