FIRST consent form requirements for both FTC and FRC:

Student/parent completes the FIRST consent form in the Youth Registration System for the FTC program (your youth's Lead Coach/Mentor will send you an email invitation with the registration link), or in STIMS (https://www.firstinspires.org/resource-library/youth-team-member-consent-and-release-form) for the FRC program. Only the students who filled out the electronic consent form will be on the coach's electronic roster. The coach needs to print out that roster and turn it in to Team Check-in at the FTC qualifier / FRC event. Students not on the electronic roster will need a hard copy of the consent form. The coach will write that student’s name on the printable roster. At team check in, the printed electronic roster and any hard copies of the consent form will need to be stapled together.

FIRST Chesapeake consent form requirements for both FTC and FRC:
