Re-reading it I think I worded what I was trying to say wrong.
I've haven't ran into much difficulty getting students into FIRST, but getting them to commit time to FIRST can be difficult. The difficulty of having them commit time raises the older students get because they have likely already commit time to other extracurricular and part-time work.
Essentially I think middle school age and older elementary school students will be more likely to commit their time to FIRST if they know there is an FRC team waiting for them in high school. But if an FRC team doesn't exist in a high school they'd be more eager to dedicate time to other extracurricular activities over FIRST.
