Also, I will be presenting a workshop called "Keys to a Successful Rookie Season", where we will be talking about all aspects of starting a team.
Or one of the other offseason events, if you're in SoCal: Fall Classic is this weekend (near Fullerton), Beach Blitz is in two weeks (Huntington Beach), and as I recall Battle at the Border is a week after that (San Diego area).


Generally speaking, the minimum number of mentors present would be set by the school policy for clubs/teams (depending which they class you as). The team I mentor has a two-adult policy--but we're flexible on exactly which adults are present; parents will work as well as mentors/teachers.

Oh, and you might want to PM rsisk. If he hasn't PM'd you yet...
