Yes, I totally second that!  I started a team four years ago for my child and it has been the  best experience!  If you can start now by getting together, coming up with a team name, and doing some practice and tutorials with the programming and building, you will be way ahead of the curve in the fall.  There is a lot you could do now.  Good luck!<div>

<b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, February 22, 2012 9:21:19 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>[VADCFLL-L] Charlottesville?<br><br>Hi folks,</p><div><div class="h5">
<div>I&#39;m totally new to mindstorms and am looking for a FLL group in Charlottesville for my 12 yr old daughter.  I&#39;m a software engineer and am glad to help with the team. Additionally, my company will sponsor a FLL team if I&#39;m involved.</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>I think there are at least 1 other parent and 12 yr old daughter that I know who would join up and at most 2 other parents and three 11-12 yr old boys who would join.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Anyone know of FLL teams in Charlottesville?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks</div>
<div><br>Jeff Lavezzo</div>
