Hillsborough is and always has been one of the NJ power teams and this posting really surprised me. And all of the suggestions above seem to be good ones. But here are even more ideas to maybe spark the team up a bit.
1. talk to our senior mentor Paul Kloberg about what the Regional guys can offer to jazz up Hillsborough.
2. come out for the off season events that we have all over the region. Surprisingly, your team has been mostly absent from that sort of stuff over the past few years. The events get the team motivated and allow the new kids time to learn and develop. That's why we hold them. And they are really cheap ($100-200 per event). From May through December we have something just about every month somewhere in the region.
3. have your spirit committee do something really creative. They can and will surprise you.
4. have a FIRST movie meeting right after the build season in preparation to going to the competitions. If you (or your mentor) call FIRST and talk to the folks in the office they might send you some of the videos they have available. Especially some of the old ones when ESPN aired the event are fun to watch.
And remember that we are in this for fun.
Drop me a line if you want to talk
