Re: Limits on Team Hours

On team 418 we also are a student run and built team and we set two limits. 1st is that our students are passing all their subjects. This should be met during both build season and when we travel to competitions and is non-negotiable. 2nd is a minimum number of hours to be eligable to travel with the team. This is a minimum of 90 hours and is broken down into two catagories (a) service to the team & (b) fundraising. The service to the team is a minimum of 60 hours and can be credited as build, design, website, technical writing or any other service to the team. The fundraising is hours spent directly working on fundraising. Socliciting sponsors, stadium cleanups, car bashes, you name it.

We have many team members that exceed the minimum, some that just barely make it and some that we miss at competition. But as long as they keep their priorities straight and manage their time well we have never, nor has the school ever imposed a maximum number of hours a student could work. Parents always have that option. For the record, we typically work 3:30 - 6:00 Monday - Thursday and Saturday morning. We do not meet on Fridays or Sundays.
