Our next coaches chat is scheduled for Tuesday, November 15 at 7:00 pm. Coaches chats are an opportunity for use to share important information with all of you as well as help you connect with other coaches. We recommend each team have one coach attend. Click here for meeting link.
We will be focusing on the Interleague events during this meeting.
Dean’s List Nominations are Due December 15th
We will once again be having remote Dean’s List Interviews in January (More info on the Interview window will be sent to coaches after nominations close in December)
Lead and Alternate Coaches can nominate their students from their firstinspires dashboard until December 15th.
Don’t wait until the last minute, get your nominations in today.
Event Results
Since all leagues have now had their first event, I wanted to point out where to go to see event results and rankings. You can find them here: https://ftc-events.firstinspires.org/#allevents
Go to the week your event was held and select your league for results.
Volunteer with FTC or FLL!
We have 27 FTC and FLL Challenge events in December alone, and we need over 1,400 volunteers to run them! Please organize your team to register today! Volunteering at FLL and FTC events is NUMBER ONE way your team can support FIRST growth in your community, and you’ll have a blast doing it!
For coaches and mentors, Judging (at events your team is NOT competing at) is a great way to learn about the judging process.
And for FTC students, volunteering in any role is a great way to work towards any service hour requirements for graduation.
If there is an FLL or FTC event in your school district and your team isn’t already supporting it, please consider mobilizing your team to help out! We understand this time of year is busy, but many of our FLL and FTC hosts depend on FRC teams to help fulfill volunteer roles.
You can always reach out to us if you want more guidence about how to help out. Email Mara Kealey at marak@firstwa.org.
