Hello, my 5th grader boy is interested in Robotics. We are interested in joining a team which competes year around and competitive.
Whats the best way of finding the existing teams in the area and approaching them? I have used zip code lookup and I have found nearby competitions plus team names, but I am unable to get the coach info or contact info or whether they are accepting new members etc. Is there any specific tool / website that can help in this regard?
I am not in the position to start new team as we don’t know any who are willing to do this at a serious level, year over year.
Thanks for any inputs.
Try to see which school/organization they are a part of. Robot Events has a really good database for this. Then, it’s as simple as contacting the school/team itself. Good luck to your kid, hope he excels in and loves this sport!
Thanks, his school has teams and some neighboring schools too - at least here its volunteer based which means the parents teach and the teams are at the best recreational with no intention of serious learning or competing.
I am looking for more professional settings and professional coaches , we do not mind paying towards the classes / participation costs/ competition travel etc.
