We found a school that had been closed down in a neighboring school district and then went to the county office of education and arranged a facility used agreement for all four FRC teams in the county to use the gym in that school for three months. We setup a makeshift field and carpet and gots lots of good practice in. It's all about finding creative solutions. Also the district with the closed down school can now say that it is being used for educational purposes which alleviates some of facility issues with the state... Apparently you can't write off expenses on a school if it's closed down.
