Once the FIRST® Tech Challenge registration is complete the coach or team representative must register with FTC New Mexico. Once you complete this second step you will be placed into the league and the coach will be notified with details and further instructions. In addition, once the season has been established previous to the yearly kickoff you will be able to search for events in New Mexico here.
