Re: Parents Meeting

Introduce them to the FIRST website and show them how to find/locate information in it.

I would also share with them at this meeting that they are going to feel overwhelmed by the amount of information, time commitment, and demands that it will take to get the team through the season but that it's ok - you will all get through it together.

One thing I think that is important for every team is to remember that the more you know, the more you realize that you don't know. The more you organize, the more organization you realize is needed. If you approach these aspects of the team like you do the game challenge, it can be a great ride and a lot of fun.

Good luck this season, 3015!
