We're looking at the same thing down in Torrance. Now, there is already the Fall Classic, but that has started to have this annoying tendency to fill up. There's a lot of interest down our way.

What you need for an offseason is a venue (at least the size of Grand Terrace's gym; for most high schools it's a 2-gym setup), a field, and something like 20-40 volunteers to run the field and snack stand and pits. As far as scheduling, you want to try to avoid any other weekend where an event is happening.

I suggest reading the following whitepaper--there's a newer version on the FIRST website, but last time I looked the paper appeared to be down.
