Put a question to the students.

How many of them are in a sport? How about in band (with band camp, possibly)?

The followup question will depend on the responses... but it will be something along this line:

If they exhibited their current commitment level in said sport/band, would they continue to remain in said sport/band, or would the coach be removing them? (Anybody says yes, they better be a committed team member--if not, time to remind them about how actions speak louder than words.)

FRC requires time similar to sports and band. Can't commit the time, do what you can and be open that you can't commit more.


By the way, 1197's shop is open two afternoons a week during offseason (and on Saturdays most of the day), and during build it's every afternoon until late-ish, plus Saturdays and Sunday afternoons. Members aren't required to be in the shop the whole time, but they are expected to be busy when they're there. We're good at finding work for them...
