Proving ownership of a team

I am creating a service that has one administrator account per team and the administrator can then create normal user accounts from it. Given that there is only one primary account per team, how can I ensure that a person registering for a team is actually part of the team? Is there some form that can be submitted or some unique piece of information that can be publicly queried?

Most things that do this go through the FIRST system that gives the main mentor of each team a code for certain software packages and the Q&A login.

Maybe something through that? Not sure how hard it is to set up.

To build on this, there are numerous online systems which require an access or voucher code from the FIRST dashboard. This requires working with FIRST to make the codes avalible. The Blue Alliance did something like this starting last year with Team Media Admin Codes. There is a breakdown of that functionality here including this screenshot of what the page looks like on the dashboard and this screenshot of what the page looks like for redemption on the TBA website.


Of course, this is only possible with the cooperation of FIRST. Depending on what you are building and why, this may or may not be possible.
