When Do Meetings Start for Your Team?

Our school starts the day after the US holiday of Labor Day, and the frequency of our team meetings changes throughout the year. Officially, our team functions year-round (with miscellaneous community service projects, fundraising opportunities, etc.) During the summer meetings are spread out, perhaps once a month (with optional meetings for our pit crew before and after demos to do a little troubleshooting and adjusting). September consists of full team meetings every other week. October usually has weekly meetings. November and December are the months when our meeting count picks up- with semi-weekly meetings. January and february after the FRC kick-off: if you are on our build team, you will be working 5-6 days a week, sometimes 7. After the ship date, we have 3 meetings a week until worlds. After worlds, we go back to our summer schedule.

Team 1058 meets weekly throughout the summer and twice a week starting in October. That is also the same time we invite freshman to join our team, so I guess it is a really the "start" of our year

Our team meets at least weekly all year round. We don't really have an off-season, it's just busy all year round!

We've begun meeting for the 2012/2013 season and we're very excited about it. We're challenging ourselves and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all rolls out through the semesters.

All the best, teams!
