Joint MURA/HCPA Operations

MURA Field in Minneapolis partners with the St Paul field at the Hmong College Preparatory Academy (HCPA Field) so  teams can register once then sign-up for time on either field. This allows a team to use whichever field is available by registering and paying once. Just as in a match, the field has room for six robots with drivers and limited pit crew.

Schedule and Field Reservations

• Login to the Sign-up Genius to reserve time (it's easier to change a signup if you're logged in when you make it)

  • Be sure to check your schedule and remove your signup if you cannot attend. 

• Only sign up for one slot per week so everyone has a chance to practice

• If you can’t get a slot, put your team on the WaitList for that day or check the other field to make a reservation

• You will receive a reminder 3 days before your reservation, sent to the email you used when you signed up. 

Signup will open for the 2026 FRC season in January 2026

Team and Mentor Requirements

Mentor Screening

Teams must be accompanied by a mentor who has been FIRST YPP verified. When registering, please submit a firstinspires.org screenshot of the team’s FIRST roster showing YPP verified mentors. We need the list at least five days before your team’s first arrival at the field. Be sure that each mentor who visits the field shows as “Youth Protection Screening verified”, a setting that is not visible on the printable roster. We will build a list of screened mentors for your team. 

Maximum Participants Per Visit

Please limit attendance to your drive team and members required to keep the robot running.
