Re: A List of Skills
In addition to lots of the suggestions above, I would make sure to introduce them to the FIRST community online, and in their area. Telling them about FIRST values is certainly important, but they'll much better understand them being part of the community.
If they know the veteran team down the road who stocks lots of extra parts, when they inevitably fry their last victor, or burn out a CIM, or maybe even vice-versa, they'll have the excellent experience of being part of what FIRST is all about.
And on social media, rather than just hearing with other teams do, they can see it, and ask questions. They can see pictures on Instagram or Facebook, or read about events teams have done on blogs or twitter, which caters to non-auditory learning modalities.
Beyond that, I see nothing about business plans, which are a hugely important component of successful teams. I would show them some successful teams' business plans, and make them talk about what they would see working for them, and make at least a simple plan, to keep them on track. I would also make sure they understand it as a living document, that needs updating as their leadership structure ebbs and flows yearly.
