This coach says, "One other local coach mentioned that parents with
children under 9 were not able to register for an FLL team. I contacted
FIRST and was told that they can be manually added to team rosters and that
a paper waiver form will need to be filled an submitted for these kids at
local events."

In Virginia-DC FLL, you have to provide the ages of your team members
twice--once on the FIRST website, and once for VA-DC FLL registration. I
haven't heard about a lower age cutoff on the VA-DC site.
