Re: Getting Robotics Recognized as a State Sport
Some advice for getting it recognized. Get some athletic directors and principals to help you. Their input will be very important, because they understand how state athletic boards operate in each state. At my school we have been lucky to have our AD's support. (Back when I was the only teacher involved, he even volunteered to cover one of our evening meetings each week.) Getting state athletic boards to recognize new sports depends on a lot of factors, with the top two generally being how much it will cost the athletic board and how many schools and students participate.
