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
hasn’t 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.
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.
