FLL Rosters Prior to arriving at any official FIRST LEGO League event, parents for each team member must complete a Consent & Release form for their child. This is accomplished by the lead coach sending out invitations through the FIRST Dashboard. For Coaches On the Dashboard page in the Team Contacts/Roster section, there is the Contact Options where you can select Manage Contacts, which will lead you to the TEAM CONTACTS page. Within this page you will find an option to Invite Team Contacts. Select the option to Invite Parents/Guardians. Once selected the coach will need to enter the parents names and email addresses. Once the coach clicks Add an automatic email is sent to the parents. The following pages of this document show details of how to do this. After the parents have completed the online Consent & Release form and applied to your team, the lead coach must accept the child to the team. Doing so adds the child to the official team roster. For Parents Each parent must create a Parent/Guardian account at www.firstinspires.org if they do not already have an account from a prior season. Once a parent/guardian account is created parents may login and complete their child s Consent & Release form. They do this by selecting the Complete Youth Member Registration button from the I Want To menu to begin registering your child. For the parents out there, FIRST has put together instructions and an FAQ for filling out your child s Consent & Release forms. Team Rosters Coaches, once every team member has completed their Consent & Release form, you can print an official team roster. Instructions to do so are included in this document. This is a must! Teams are required to submit an official team roster at check-in for every official FIRST LEGO League tournament they attend. If parents are unable to electronically complete the Consent & Release forms, then a paper form may be filled out. Forms are available here. Please only use this option as a last resort. If a parent/guardian uses a paper form, it must be completed prior to arriving at the event and attached to the printed official roster.
