FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ'S)

When does the Leadership Team practice?
Typically, every Thursday from 3:35pm to 4:35pm

How long is the season?
The Academic Team meets all year long with three levels of competition. 
Level I typically takes place in November. 
Level II typically takes place in January or February. 
If the team makes it to Level III then on the 3rd weekend in June you will go to Washington D.C. for the National Level Competition.


How much does it cost?
Only your time.  The worst thing that will happen is you will learn more about yourself and learn how to work on a team and leader others.  The trip to Washington D.C. is all paid expense if you can help get the team to the finish line.
