How to Register

–

Registration for the SoCal FTC region has two main steps:

–

1. Register with FIRST and pay the $295 registration fee.

Two adult mentors register their team with FIRST at firstinspires.org, whether you are a rookie or returning team. FIRST annual registration fee is $295.00. To be fully registered, two adult mentors must pass Youth Protection. After you have signed up with FIRST for this season, the primary registered mentor will receive an email with directions on how to register with the SoCal FTC region for your event season. SoCal FTC will assign your team to a League. If you are a veteran team, you will be assigned to the League you previously attended; if you are a new team, you will be assigned based on zip code and availability. If you wish to change Leagues, you may request to be switched. This, however, can only be done once, is subject to availability and it must be done before the first League Meet. To see other teams in your League, please go to the Leagues dropdown menu and click on League List.
