Start a Team in California!

Step 1 - Form a Team

DI Teams can have 2-7 members. The members can be from the same school, different schools or home-schooled. Members can all be in the same grade or different grades.

Step 2 - Find a Team Manager

Find an adult (or two!) to guide the team. Parents, Grand Parents, Teachers, Aunts, Uncles or neighbors can become Team Managers!

A Team Manager must be 18 years or older, and able to facilitate the team meetings.

All Team Managers are required to have a Sterling Background Check. More information about the background check process can be found here.

Step 3 - Purchase a Team Number

Starting July 15th, 2024 for the 2024 - 2025 Challenge Season!

All Destination Imagination teams must purchase a Team Number and Team Managers must have a background check to participate in the program and access materials, training and the DI challenge clarification system.

A Team Number costs $425, which is the California All-In-One fee. This includes the National Registration, Team Manager Training, Instant Challenge Training, and the Regional Tournament fee.

When filling out the forms, please provide your correct email address and telephone number so that we can contact you. The organization name will be your school, district or town. Your affiliate is California. Find your Region here.
