Register Now! 

You must be registered with FIRST and FIRST Washington to be placed in your home league. 

As of Monday morning, we have: 

• 112 teams registered with FIRST 

• 81 teams registered with FIRST Washington 

Last season, 181 teams participated. That means less than half of you are currently fully registered. 

Register with FIRST Washington here:
FTC Washington Registration Form 

Register with FIRST (national): 
From your firstinspires.org dashboard. Note: you will need to pay your registration fee when registering with FIRST. 

You do not need to pay at the time of registration with FIRST Washington—we will invoice teams the first week of October. 

Bonus: The FIRST Washington registration form also gives you access to grants that reduce your registration cost. 

Help us help you—register today so we can get league assignments out on time!
