Do I need A USATF Membership?

USATF Memberships are only needed for our two junior olympic programs: JO Cross-Country in the fall, and X-Track in the spring. For these two programs your membership must be active prior to competing in a USATF event.

Do I need to register my child prior to showing up?

Yes. For planning and liability purposes, we need you to register your child prior to the start of the program. This will better help us prepare for coaching staff and logistics.
