Our team leader is a senior (only a high school of juniors and seniors) and they are voted in / decided on by the team. It really doesn't have to be voted on as it usually becomes clear who the team leader for the next year will be. It is the person who takes the first step and who goes above and beyond what is required. Our team gets along very well so its not really a problem. The team leader makes sure that all the subgroups are doing their jobs and sends out the emails about the meetings. They also do organizational work and set up meeting times etc. They are a valuable asset and i don't think that our team could do without them. Last year was my first year in FIRST but I learned quickly how valuable a good team leader was as they hold the team together and make sure everything is done. Usually our subgroup leaders are a combined group of seniors and juniors as it gives them experience and also lets them learn about leadership in a FIRST team.
I try to tell everyone to join the team from the high school I attended due to the fact that I joined as a senior and it definitely changed my life.
