FIRST has no written requirement that I've seen that requires any school to be involved with a team, hence teams that draw from multiple schools and community teams. These teams may get support from the schools, but more often than not, they are entirely sponsor and participant based. Personally, I feel that a school actually hampers a team, being that my team, and many others, is severely hampered with travel and time rerstrictions. Also, FIRST hates to see teams go, and they will most certainly help you in your effort to keep this team alive. Well, good luck to you and the girls of 863 in your effort to keep 863 alive for seasons to come.
