With disruptions caused by COVID-19, FIRST is adapting its safety and registration processes for all participants to accommodate the expanded program experience, including the FIRST Remote Event Hub. For the 2020-2021 season, all Youth Team Members are required to have a parent/guardian complete the FIRST Consent and Release Form through the FIRST Youth Registration System. This is a requirement for participation in the FIRST season, including in-person or remote team meetings, events or competitions.
The regional team registration process is the same for both the Qualifying and State Tournaments. This process consists of 3 steps:
STEP 1: REGISTER NATIONALLY:
FIRST® as an organization has moved to a single sign on within the FIRST Website. All Team Registration for each program is handled through this FIRST Portal. FIRST registration is SEPARATE from the regional North Carolina team registration.
