Greetings Teams!

FIRST is pleased to announce that registration for the 2009 Jr.FLL Smart Move season will open on Monday, August 3rd, at 12:00 noon EDT.  We are looking forward to having you participate in this year's Challenge and hope that you are ready for another exciting year of Jr.FLL.

The opening of Jr.FLL registration brings a few new changes for this year. FIRST has a new Jr.FLL Program Manager, and a new Jr.FLL registration system.  As Jr.FLL continues to grow, change, and improve, you will help to make it one of the strongest and most successful programs at FIRST.

In order to experience all of the wonderful features of Jr.FLL, please register your teams by purchasing a Jr.FLL Team Access Pass for each team.  A Team Access Pass can be purchased by visiting http://www.usfirst.org/jrfll on August 3, 2009 at noon EDT, and then clicking on the registration link found on the right side of the page under the Headlines section.
Your $25 (USD) Team Access Pass is your ticket to the Jr.FLL Smart Move Challenge which includes:

* Jr.FLL Smart Move Challenge - The Model and Show-Me Poster Instructions
* Jr.FLL Coaches' Guide - Best practices and tips for coaches
* Jr.FLL Event Guide - Detailed instructions and sample schedules for hosting a Jr.FLL event
               * Jr.FLL Forums - Unrestricted access to private Jr.FLL Forums, including a forum just for coaches
               * Jr.FLL Community Blog - Access to view weekly Blog posts about Jr. FLL news and updates.

Once you have purchased the Jr.FLL Team Access Pass you will have the option to purchase the Jr.FLL base kit and other related LEGO products.
