    Receive a Pit Zone invitation

    First, you'll need an **invitation** to join your team as a coach. This comes in the form of a Pit Zone registration email, and it is sent by your team's head coach or team director.
    Ask your head coach or team director to send this invite your way. Double check your spam folder if you do not see it right away!
    Your Pit Zone invitation email will have a personalized coach invitation link. \ *This is a one-time use link.* Follow this link to start your **Pit Zone registration process.**

    Create your Pit Zone coach profile

    **Create a password** to use with Pit Zone. Your email will be your "username" for login purposes.
    Once you've created your password, you'll end up in your Pit Zone dashboard. Look for the yellow SEASON REGISTRATION box under your team name. Within the yellow box, click the **"Begin season registration"** link.

    Complete your season registration as a coach in Pit Zone

    Next, Pit Zone will ask you to complete some personal information fields. \ *Take care to ensure that these fields are accurate.* Click the blue "continue" button to proceed once you have completed all of the required fields.
    As you complete the NAME fields, it is important that you enter your **FULL LEGAL NAME**. Your background check will be processed using this information, so your legal name is required.
    NICA also collects some simple demographic information, which is confidential.
    You will be asked to provide TWO emergency contacts and their cell phone numbers.
    Basic health insurance information is required, as well as an acknowledgement that you are in good health, a disclosure of allergies or asthma, and notes on your prescription medications. **This information is used for risk management purposes**.

    Sign NICA's releases, code of conduct, and participation agreement

    Next, you will sign several releases/agreements. You will be asked to read and agree to NICA's team training limits, insurance overview, and current rulebook.
    You will also be provided with information on NICA's media release, safety study, and information about where your data is shared. Click the acknowledgement box and proceed to the next step.
    Next, you'll be asked to read, review, and agree to NICA's **Adult Code of Conduct.**
    Last, you'll be asked to review and sign NICA's **Participation Agreement.** Complete your signature in the yellow box, and click "Confirm and Sign"
    Continue to click the yellow boxes until you have "signed" all parts of the Participation Agreement. To complete the agreement, **look for the gray "FINISH" button at the bottom of the page.**
    NICA will send you a copy of your signed Participation Agreement via email. **Please keep this for your records.** You may also access the participation agreement in Pit Zone at any time, by viewing your COACH PROFILE and selecting the Participation Agreement menu option.
