Team Name Updates

Please make sure your team names are correct on your FIRST Inspires dashboard. I will be pulling all team name information from the dashboard info this season.  

I will not be accepting last minute team name updates in email. 

FLL Challenge Events Need Volunteers!

 We hope you’ll sign up to volunteer and help make this season a success! FLL Qualifiers are scheduled for December 6, 7, 13, and 14. 

We ask that all teams supply at least 1 volunteer for an event your team is not attending. If you are a coach, consider volunteering at an event as a judge your team is not attending! You will learn how the judging process works, and it will help you guide your team through the judging process in the future! 

As we dig into the excitement of this year’s FLL Challenge competitions, your support is essential. To ensure all students can participate in a local competition, we will host 27 events around the state of Washington! But these events don’t materialize out of thin air. They require the commitment of over 900 passionate volunteers! 

So don’t hesitate to join the fun! We need help in various roles, from refereeing, judging, scorekeeping, and more. 

Volunteer needs 

  • Judges (minimum 18 y.o.) 
  • Referees 
  • Scorekeepers 
  • Field Resetters 
  • Queuers
