Starting a new FLL Team

[ArtemusMaximus]

Hello everyone. A coworker of mine was looking for local FLL team in Edmonton for his kid. Local FLL facilitator wasn't much help in locating and helping to find a team and basically told him to go and start his own team giving just a generic reference to FLL website.

He is serious enough to help his kid's interest in Lego Robotics that his is considering to start the new team.

I provided as much info as I could from my involvement in FRC this past season, but there is more to running FLL team than the things i was exposed to as FRC mentor.

So I am asking for help (advice, references, insights, budget details, optimal team size, etc) so that he can start and run successful FLL team.

Thanks.
