Team Seasonal Startup Costs

  • Per-student team startup contribution: $115
    • This contribution to startup costs is needed to get the team officially registered with FIRST

A contribution to team seasonal startup costs for your student is only due after your student becomes part of a team.  Do not make the contribution until asked by a coach or team administrator.
