Funding Your Exhibition and Tournament Teams

One of the secrets to long-term student retention is forming teams. Your regular classes have to be designed for all your students, of all ages and ability levels. Teams allow students with outstanding ability to focus on their area of interest and develop their fullest potential. Two teams no school should do without are the Exhibition Team and the Competition Team. The Exhibition Team, which is sometimes called your Demo Team, practices exciting techniques to use during exhibitions. We dedicate one special class a week to them, plus we have a separate team for our after school program. They prepare exhibitions for our belt tests, plus any other exhibition opportunities
