Completing Consent Forms

Consent forms are required by all participants in FIRST INSPIRES programs. Please see the steps below to complete this process.

Parent Instructions:

  1. Create a Parent/Guardian Account at www.firstinspires.org
    • Make sure they put their name and email, not their child’s.  This is a parent account, not their child’s account.
  2. Once they are signed in, then they need to add their child
  3. Click on Parent/Guardian – Youth tab
  4. Click on Add a Youth
  5. Fill out details on page
  6. Email is not required for youth.  Do not put the parent’s email here.  If child does not have their own, leave it blank.
    • Note – If they are over 13, then I believe email is required.  So for FTC and FRC, these instructions are going to be a little different.
  7. Consent form – make sure they complete this one!
  8. Then Apply for team
  9. Select FLL
  10. Enter the team #
  11. That’s all parents need to do

The coach/team administrator then will need to go into FIRST and accept the request to be on the team.
