Helpful hints for REGISTERING A TEAM:

Each team is required to have TWO SCREENED adult coaches. Coach screening (Youth Protection Program) is done through the FIRSTInspires registration process (at no cost).
Ordering robot kits and field set up kits can happen as soon as you have two coaches registered in the system and pay the team registration fee.
Once both coaches are screened you can then invite team members to join your team.

If coaches have online release troubles, please contact Jenna Watson-Findley
