The following criteria must be met before a team can attend an event:
1. Two coaches must be registered and complete the FIRST screening process.
2. All team members and coaches must have completed a current FIRST Release and Consent.
3. Registration is open to TN teams starting December 20th 2023
4. COMPLETING ALL TEAM PAPERWORK
Team members and coaches must provide proof of a FIRST consent and release (electronic preferred) before participating in any FTC event. Find details about ‘Team Paperwork’ on the FTC Resources page of the FIRST website. If possible, use the team dashboard to invite parents to electronically acknowledge and submit a FIRST consent and release form online. Otherwise, request a copy of the paper version of the FIRST consent form from
npasquerilla@firstpartners.org and have a parent of the team member sign it as soon as possible. A printed copy of the team roster from the team dashboard showing consent form status and any signed original consent forms are acceptable documentation of consent and release.
SENDING DOCUMENTS AND PAYING THE REGISTRATION FEE
After submitting the event application, we will send an email confirming receipt of your application. Please wait a couple of days, it is a manual process. A team roster link showing team registration status can also be viewed on the FTC Event page. If Criteria 1 is verified, the status will change to “Application Approved.” If the Criteria 1 has not been met the status will indicate “Application Received”. This is a manual process and may take a couple days to update.
Upon receiving application approval, send copies of a FIRST team roster from the team dashboard and/or signed original paper consent forms to:
