I recommend getting the idea of being on the team as a positive thing. Coming from last year and graduating 13 seniors and left with 3 returning underclassmen, I know it's hard to recruit people to the team. You just have to keep positive and let people know at your school how fun it is. Yes, it involves a big commitment, but in the end, you walk away with great life experiences and new friends. One way to get your attendance rate up which always works for our all girls team is say there will be food lol and that it will help with lettering if your team does that. It's just a suggestion. Otherwise you should have a mentor address the subject and say either you come and are on the team otherwise you aren't. Our team is proud of our high attendance rates and it is all due to people just loving to be there with their friends. You could always try recruiting your friends to try it out, or like we did this summer where we had all the potenially interested people show up to weekly meetings and learn about the mechanical, pr, electrical, and programming sides of our team. Hope this helps some!
