Re: Texas FIRST teams doubling in 2 years

Roughly 20% of teams started are having trouble and this will only get worse as you stretch your veteran support thin.

As of now, Texas has 15 new rookies in 2010 (89 total teams)

How have other states dealt with rookie attrition and helping train large crops of rookies ?
