Community Events

Community events are competitions run by teams during the off-season. Teams wishing to schedule the use of a full or partial FRC field for an Invitational or Demo event should read the Invitational Tournament Criteria and Consideration and download the appropriate documents.

The FIRST fields do not come with the game pieces. Should you need game pieces please use this order form. If ordered in advance, the game pieces can go out with your field and no shipping costs will be incurred, if you are borrowing the field from FIRST HQ.

To learn more about hosting your own event, read How to Host an Off-Season FRC Event by Chris Fultz and Andy Baker

To request your event be listed on this page, please send an email with the relevant details to FRCteams@usfirst.org.
