Re: Do Non-School Teams Have An Advantage?
For my team, being school-based is an advantage. The school district for my team actually pays for about 60% of our travel costs, and provides us with a lot of opportunities. All of our absences are excused, and teachers actually try to assign less around competition times. Our school, students and teachers alike, supports us a lot and I feel really lucky that we have that. Not to mention that a school full of nearly 2000 hungry teenagers makes food-based fundraisers really easy!
I really think it depends on how helpful your school and district is, because without that support, it's awful to be a school team.
