Central Valley FTC League

The Central valley FTC League was established in 2025 to support the growth and expansion of FTC robotics in the Central Valley. Teams from Atwater to Visalia participated during the season from September 2025 through February 2026. The CV-FTC League is available for any FTC teams in the Central Valley and will expand as necessary to provide at least 3 meets per team, and 1 qualifier event (typically held in February) to advance teams to the NorCal Championships and potentially to the Worlds Championship!

In 2024-25 FCSS supported the growth of 10 FTC school teams and in 2025-26 supported the growth of 8 FTC school teams. If you are interested in starting an FTC team at your school for the 2026-27 school year, please contact Jeran Ott, Ed.D. at jott@fcoe.org to see if resources are available to support your team.
