FLL has the support of thousands of volunteers on planning committees who help get teams registered, offer workshops, enlist even more volunteers to host events including finding even more volunteers to help at events. It is all volunteer-driven. Logistically it is almost impossible to "place" a student on a team as these teams are created in all different ways and just like FRC, are run based on what works for the group.
I hope your co-worker takes the plunge. FLL is a blast! We are looking at almost 400 teams and 21 events in my state next year. It took hundreds of people just to put on the events last year so that each team had one qualifier to attend. It is insane, but a lot of fun.
There are many FRC teams who support FLL teams and events - and they are filled with great advice. There is also a lot of great information on the website.

Thanks for the encouragement.
Unfortunately we are not spoiled here with vast number of the FIRST teams here in Edmonton. We had only 4 FRC teams registered past season and only 2 competed in regionals.
So this thread is an attempt to get him on a right track and well equipped.
