How Do I start a team?

Every school is going to have different requirements for a team. Start with talking to your principal or superintendent. You’ll need a staff member to act as the coach, as well as the right equipment for the games you'll be playing. Just like any other sports team, you can organize tryouts, select team captains, and establish team roles and structure. Be sure to treat it like a real team, with clear organization and commitment!
