COVID Policy

COVID-19 Health and Safety Policy for NYC FIRST Events

Event staff and attendees participating in this event should recognize that any gathering poses an increased risk of COVID-19 exposure and spread. FIRST® believes that the best path toward ending the COVID-19 pandemic — and having a successful season — is through vaccination. We strongly recommend everyone who is eligible and has access to a vaccine consult with their physician and get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible.

This event is open to the general public

Face masks are not mandatory but recommended.


There is no limit to the number of students allowed in each pit, but we ask that teams be mindful to not crowd the aisles in the pit area. All team members (students, mentors, and coaches) must be registered on the Team Roster in the FIRST Team Information System.
