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.

I have a pair of 8-yr-old team members moving up from my Jr. FLL to FLL, since the bottom
age level in FIRST has always been soft.  Using the stims registration process, however, shows
them to be ineligible based on birthdays.  Based on the way FTC has worked, I would like to
assume that they will need to bring paper consent forms to competition.  Is this a correct
assumption?
