Our goal was to start 2-4 new LAUSD leagues and maintain the 9 continuing LAUSD leagues. Three continuing league host sites have changed.

Each new league should have 16-24 teams. Continuing leagues should have 20-36 teams. Each league needs at least 16 teams to qualify the top teams for State Championships.

All new schools are expected to send one or more coaches to attend a Coach Basic Training session. VEX IQ Super Kits will be provided for the training.

Coaches that attended a Coach Basic Training session may attend the Coach Advanced Training session.

All new schools are expected to sent one or more coaches to attend a Coach Orientation Session for a League.

Leagues will meet after school (4:00-7:00 PM) at least four times between October and January:

  • September: Coach Orientations for new leagues and for continuing leagues with many new coaches.
  • October: Qualification Session 1: Practice Teamwork Matches (for new leagues) followed by Qualification Teamwork Matches
  • November and December: Qualification Sessions 2-3: Qualification Teamwork Matches
  • January: Championship Session 4: Skills Matches and Judging followed by Finals Teamwork Matches and Awards
