Re: How to move a team from a individual school to a community based program.

3946 has a 501c3 "booster club" as well as the school sponsorship. Even if you start the booster club, see if you can find another faculty member (at either school) who will take over being the school liaison. In addition to recruiting opportunities and workspace, having your team sponsored by the school makes it much easier to do "field trips" to go to competitions, demos, and other activities. Participating in a community team would probably not be considered an excused absence, and that's a showstopper for many parents.
