The two teachers on the X-Cats ( one who is my wife ) do a FIRST recruitment drive at the beginning of the school year to get the word out to the kids about the X-Cats. We do an interview process to what kids qualify for the team. We try to get 40 kids a year and only end up losing a few due to time constraints or poor grades (if you don't keep your grades up, help with the fundraising, put in at least two hours of extra time outside of the regularly scheduled meetings, do a community service and other mandated activities you will not be able to travel and you could be asked to leave if you truly have neglected your duties). We have a chart that marks clearly how the kids are doing and kids are given a pretty good idea where they stand.
Last year out of 40 kids only 28 could travel to Florida, many because APs were so close to the Nationals. That won't be a problem this year it seems.
