and you are required to have agreement from the school for students to be out of class to attend events, to travel, liability waviers, ect ect ect.
Unless Im mistaken, if you do not have a high school participating, you must have misrepresented yourself when you registered the team - and you would not be a valid FIRST team.
Someone correct me if Im misinformed here. It would be really cool if a bunch of kids and adults could get together and form their own team, or if a church group, or boyscout troop, whoever - could start a FIRST team
but Im 99.99% certain that you cant do that!

Team 857 gets almost all of our 'high school' support through the school district, not individual schools. Student from any of the local high schools are invited to join as well as anyone else willing to drive to our meetings.
Another example of a team without high school support is team 68, Truck Town (Terror) Thunder.
T3 has drawn students from the same high schools as teams 27, 33, 245, 302, 308, 1010, 1240, and probably a bunch more I can't recall.
