What to bring to kick-off:
Print out a copy of
your team roster from TIMS EVEN IF no one from your team has completed
the online Consent and Release form.
Bring signed paper Consent and Release forms for everyone in attendance who
hasnt signed the online Consent and Release form. The
Student electronic student
consent and release form may be found in STIMS. The
Adult Consent and
release form may be found in TIMS.
The paper copies may be found on the usfirst.org website.
Only bring the total number of people you said you were going to bring.
(Parents count as people too.) Most local kickoffs have space issues. Cant
remember how many people you said would come from your team? Your main and
alternate contact can log
into TIMS and check the kit and kickoff section of the team summary page.
Want to bring more people? Be sure to check with your local kickoff coordinator.
You can find contact information by
clicking on your kickoff name on the local kickoff page of our website.
If you know you have a long walk from the kickoff to your car you may want to
bring a hand truck (see kit of part weights above)
Make sure your vehicle has enough room to transport the kit home. The Kit
WILL FILL most car trunks (start empty) and be too big for some smaller models.
