Recreational League   – April/May events

NorCal FLL Challenge will have Two seasons – each team will choose 1 season
More details
  • Advancing League events -> NorCal Qualifier tournament (QT) with 20%-35% of teams that will advance to NorCal Championship Tournament (CT)
  • Recreational League events -> NorCal Local tournament (LT)
Registration for events will be slightly different than previous seasons.
Please review the Tournament Registration Instructions. There are a few steps that need to be fulfilled before your team is eligible to register, be sure to complete all the tasks before registration opens.
Specifically,  the primary coach will have a special Coach account created on the norcalfll.org website.  In order to fulfill the Playing At Learning requirements and then register, the coach (or their designate) must be logged into that account.
You will receive the account information via email from “norcalfll” aka fll@playingatlearning.org on or before November 11th.  We will post to the googlegroup when the accounts are ready.

TEAM VOLUNTEERS:   If your team is participating in a REMOTE event, due to the virtual nature of the events, there is no need to apply for any role.

If your team is participating in a HYBRID event, we may ask for volunteers – stay tuned.

In all cases, you (or anyone associated with the team) are not allowed to allow to be a Judge or a Referee in NorCal for any event.  Yes, this includes even events where your team is not participating.  See Volunteer Policy (and you should be familiar with all policies)

Thank you for your patience as we plan for an amazing season!
