Re: How does your team recruit students?
Typically we start recruiting in September when school starts because we have access and the kids are motivated after the long build and competition seasons. We recruit for a couple weeks and then start fall training in October through December.
This year we have opened up the process earlier and new students can sign up for the team through an online application process and then when school starts we will do a more focused recruiting effort when we have them captured. We find it hard in the summer (locally) because we don't have access to the kids in large enough groups as well as a lot of them work in the summer.
