Urgent!! Volunteers needed for events the next two weekends!

We ask that all teams supply at least 1 volunteer for an event your team is not attending.

We are still in need of volunteers for our FLL Qualifiers happening in December! We are especially in need of adults to fill judging roles. If you are a coach or mentor, judging at an event other than where your students are competing is an amazing way to learn about the process and how to coach your students on exactly what they need to do in their presentation to judges.

We also need students in various roles – referee, scorekeeper, queuer, and field reset. This is a great way for students to meet their volunteer hour requirement! Here are the events with the greatest need:

December 6: Beaver Lake, Everett, Seattle, Spokane, and Wapato

December 7: Everett, Seattle, Spokane, and Wapato

December 13: Federal Way and Shoreline

December 14: Federal Way, Shoreline, Tacoma, Oak Harbor, and Olympia

Thank you for your support in making this program sucessful for your team and others as well! We could not do it without you!

First Qualifier Weekend!

This weekend is our first set of Qualifiers! I hope everyone is excited!

A few things to keep in mind-

Please make sure you bring your teams printed roster. This is printed from your teams FIRST Inspires dashboard. You can find instructions on how in last months coaches chat slides here- https://firstwa.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/November-18-25-coaches-chat.pdf

Please remember that everyone at your event is a volunteer! They are donating their time to help with your teams event! If you have any issues at your event, please email me- jacqueg@firstwa.org

This is about the kids! This is their time to shine and to celebrate all they have learned and acomplished!

Kids do the work! That means NO coaches or parents should be working on or programing the robot.

The most important thing to keep in mind- Have Fun!!
