The guidance I got from a former FLL coach is that 4-5 hours/week is good for a rookie team. Maybe more for the older kids. In our case, we're planning a 1.5 hour project meeting every week and a ~2.5 hour robot session. Depending on how things go, we may add another hour, but my kids are over-scheduled (as are most kids these days) and this is what we could come up with. Hope that helps, Frank Levine On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 5:24 PM, Michele Bossick <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello all.....Please share how often and how long your team meets to > practice.
