Start a Team

 

Are you ready to Get Started?  Here are the steps to take.


Determine if your school district is participating in Destination Imagination.

  • The way to get started with a team varies depending on your school district or private school that you attend.  Some school districts and private schools will purchase your team's membership for you.  You should check the contacts page.  Call or send an email to the person listed by your school district or private school and they can give you the information you need to know about participating.  If no contact information is provided then you should contact the Regional Directors.
  • If you are participating as an independent team then you will need to purchase your membership directly.  Goto START A TEAM and follow the instructions there to purchase a membership.

Check our calendar.

Why?  
  • The calendar includes dates for Regional Board meetings, trainings and the Regional Tournament.
  • You should add training dates and the regional tournament to your personal calendar. 

Create a Team Manager Account at register.txdi.org

Why?  
  • You must have a Team Manager Account at Texas DI in order to register your team for the regional Tournament.
  • Create a Mid-Cities Team Manager account at Texas DI.
  • Or  you can go directly to the Texas webiste and follow the instructions.

Register your team for the Mid-Cities tournament

Why?

Obtaining a team membership number does NOT register your team for the Mid-Cities Tournament.  It merely gives you the right ot use the Challenge Masterials.  You must complete a registratin form and pay the registration fee in order to be registered to participate in the Mid-Cities DI Tournament.  

Instructions on how to register your team.

Create an account at www.destinationimagination.org

Why?
  •  This gives you access to DI University (online training) and once you have a membership number it gives you access to download program materials and access the DI clarification system.
  • If you purchased your membership directly from Destination Imagination then you probably already have an account at www.destinationimagination.org
  • If you do not have an account you can go here and follow the instructions to create an account.   All user accounts are managed through Destination Imagination's online store (shopdi.org). 

Plan to attend New Team Manager training

Why​?
  • While there is nothing inherently difficult or complicated about managing a Destination Imagination team there is a lot of information.  The experienced instructors in your region can save you and your team many missteps.  You do your team a disservice by not attending training.
  • The online training that is available provides only basic information.
  • We provide training for new team managers and also offer some targeted training sessions on specific topics.
  • We also offer team workshops for your team.
  • There is no charge for most of our Team Manager trainings.  There is a fee for our Team Manager University to help defray the cost of the facility and materials.
  • Most team workshops do have a feee.
