Not necessarily, per the document linked in the original post:

Quote:
Many schools and organizations hosting FIRST programs
already have effective youth protection programs in place.
The conditions in which a particular team operates may be
so unique that applying all provisions of the FIRST YPP is
not necessary or feasible, and alternative measures may
be more effective. Under either of these circumstances,
team Lead Coaches/Mentors may interpret and apply the
recommendations in a manner that best fits their situation
and best protects their team members from injury.
also

Engaging a child in activities that are not related to
the FIRST program, educational matters, or career
concerns; or spending personal time with a child
outside of FIRST program activities (unless the adult is
a family member or family friend).
Unless I missed something (I just quickly skimmed through most of the document), I don't see anything required that would forbid/restrict that.
