Have team members introduce themselves like "Hi, I'm from team xxxx and we're a rookie team this year. Any advice for us?"
The rookie team bit being key - veteran teams generally fall all over themselves to help rookies. It'll be hard enough, get all the help you can.
You can usually leave by 12:30-1 pm, but IF your kickoff has workshops, these will be WELL worth your time to attend. That means leaving maybe 2 or 3 pm, and bringing some sort of lunch (if they don't have a food vendor nearby).
