I'm trying to recruit some new teams in the area. Who is the best person to contact?
If their web page lists a science bowl type of person, I contact them. But otherwise? Principal? Vice principal? National Honor Society type of person?
I'm also trying to see if I can get some middle school teams in the area to start a circuit. Would the same idea apply for middle schools, too?

Re: Cold-calling
Talk with the school secretary first and ask them if they have specific advice, but in general it will probably end up as a principal/VP type, or an (non-athletics) activities director if they have that position.
