We meet five times a week during FRC season, and three times a week for FTC. After FRC starts, FTC has access to the shop for those extra days, and they tend to show up most of the time. Of course, I don't know how often we'd meet if I only had FTC to coach; I might meet a bit more often.

We definitely leave some time on the table in FTC, and we are still competitive at the state level.
