What are the team roles in a FIRST team?

Answer

Below are the definitions of the roles within FIRST® teams:

Lead Coach 1 and Lead Coach 2:

·       Adult volunteers that lead the day-to-day activities of the team

·       Have the authority to make leadership decisions for the team and are the primary contacts for the team.

·       Each team must have two (2) adults in this role. One is recommended to be at least 25 years old.

·       Leads can create new teams, manage team contacts, edit team information, make registration payments, register team participants, and view youth information.

·       Lead Coach 2 cannot invite Lead Coach 1 or Team Administrator.

Mentor:

·       Individuals (18+) with technical or non-technical knowledge who teach and assist a team.

·       Mentors provide valuable support and serve as a resource in their area of specialty.

·       Regular relationship with the team but may not attend every meeting or event.

·       This role is assigned on the FIRST Dashboard.

·       It does not have administrative permissions.

Team Administrator:

·       Individuals (18+) who do not collaborate directly with the team but have access to financial information to procure resources for the team

·       Create a team

·       Can invite/remove Lead Coaches only (no other rostered roles)

·       Cannot invite parents/guardians, accept youth team members, or view youth team members in the Team Contacts page.

·       The utilization of this role on a team roster is OPTIONAL.

Note: A Lead Coach 1 can do all the functions of a Team Administrator role and does not need to also be assigned to this role in addition to being a Lead Coach 1.

Youth Mentors:

·       An individual, who could be a veteran team member, serving as youth mentor to a team with younger participants.

·       These individuals are between the ages of 13-17 years old.

·       The utilization of this role on a team roster is OPTIONAL.

·       This role is assigned on the FIRST Dashboard.

·       It does not have administrative permissions.

Team Volunteers:

·       Individuals (18+) who regularly volunteer with and support the team, but they are not a mentor or the coach.

·       The team may be chaperoned and/or supported in another way by this individual.

·       The utilization of this role on a team roster is OPTIONAL.

·       Teams that have additional adult support could roster these individuals as “Team Volunteers” (ex. support logistics) or “mentors” (ex. teach/guide) whichever role is appropriate.

·       This role is assigned on the FIRST Dashboard.

·       It does not have administrative permissions.

Many people support teams. Here are some examples of other non-rostered roles:

Subject Matter Experts: This individual has infrequent or inconsistent interactions with a team. The individual may be a temporary consultant sharing expertise. (ex. An individual indirectly assists a team with something such as fabrication.) The role may be held by different individuals from season to season.

Supporters: Individuals who indirectly support the team and do not consistently or directly engage with the team. (ex. individuals who are parents or guardians.) If an individual directly and consistently engages with youth they should be rostered as “Team Volunteers” and take Youth Protection Program training and undergo Youth Protection Program screening.
