To add an example to what Isaac is talking about here:

Two years ago my company had a high school student as an intern (you know him as apalrd here on chiefdelphi). The key to getting him in here was to make the company aware of the experience he gained by being involved with his FIRST team. He was able to demonstrate his experience enough to convince us that he would be valuable as an intern, and we were very happy with him.

If you have some applicable experience that you got as a part of your team (or somewhere else), then be sure to highlight it.
