Re: Starting 20 new teams this year. Need help.

Try reaching out to the Minnesota regional director. We grew by leaps and bounds a few years ago. If I remember right, there was 1 team 7 years ago, then around 20 teams 6 years ago, then over 40, then over 100 in the state. We're up over 150, and I think this year we might finally have more FRC teams than high school boys hockey teams in the state (we missed the mark by only a couple last year!) It really was explosive growth, and somehow the mentorship in the area managed to almost keep pace with the need. But then again, I've only met a couple of teams who have said they didn't want more mentors
