Website critiques?

[gracie.]

Hey guys! Your website help has been indispensable so far, so I thought I might pose another question if anyone is still around to help.

I have a navigation problem. Kind of a big one, it seems. On our menu bar, there are three items with dropdowns - Team 2399, News, and Sponsors. Whenever I give our page to a new user, they never realize that these items are clickable in addition to the pages in their dropdown menus. This is a problem I've been considering for a while, and a few of you pointed it out as well.
There have been a few solutions I have considered, but none of them have been quite as effective or clean as I would've hoped.

Any ideas?

thanks,
gracie
EDIT: Just to clarify, I mean that they don't notice the items themselves are clickable, only thinking the dropdown items are.
