Re: Is there too much focus on starting new teams, and not enough on maintianing the old?

We're still pretty optimistic though. We count ourselves lucky that we are able to go to 1 regional a year.
That is very sad that there isn't much support from your school or community. I suggest doing a lot of fundraising that involves people from your community, like having a booth at a fair, being in a parade, or selling things at football games. Our team has had wonderful success selling things that glow at football games. Put simply, just go out at community things and advertise your team, talk to whoever you can and tell them to tell others, use business cards, all that good stuff. This all goes out to rookie teams too. Hopefully all these new teams and all the old teams can get a lot of school and community support, because I think that is very important for them to stay alive. But it's good that you guys are optimistic, that will help you a lot.
