How do you start a new FRC team?

I am trying to help a friend who is trying to start an FRC team at his school. We have gone through most of the resources on the FIRST website but we are still quite confused about how to actually do it. We are wondering if anyone has any suggestions about:
1) What do we need to start a team
2) Where to look for sponsors
3) How to go about getting sponsorships from companies
4) How to Recruit team members
5) How to Organize the team
6) Anything that might help us start the team
We would really appreciate any advice you can give us.
Thank you all in advance.
