USATF Membership Renewal Reminder
Most of our officials have purchased an annual membership in USATF, and this will expire at the end of the year (on December 31).  In order to remain certified, you must remain a USATF member.  So we encourage you to renew that membership now.  You may renew for the next year at annual rate of $40.00, or elect the officials’ 4-year membership rate of $140.00.

The process is not simple, so here’s how to proceed -- through your USATF Connect account at this link :  

  • login;
  • click on “Memberships” in the left-center menu column;
  • click on the Green “Current” button;
  • scroll down on the page and select either the adult or officials’ 1-year or officials’ 4-year membership, and elect Auto Renewal or One Time Payment;
  • click on the “Next” button and proceed thru the next 10 screens.  
  • When done, click on the “Cart” icon at the top right of the page and make payment.
Clinic –The Officials Committee will conduct one certification/training clinic this year on December 11th at the US Air Force Academy.  It will begin at 9:15am and run thru 1:00pm, with both PowerPoint slides, and practical demonstrations on the track.  Contact Rich Schornstein to learn more details or to sign up for the clinic.

  Recertification – Remember, you’ll need to have a 2021 USATF membership, current background screening, and a current SafeSport refresher course in order to remain certified.  You may accomplish all three of these actions through your USATF Connect account.

Recertification Information – All USATF certified officials must recertify every four years, and we’ve now begun that process for the next Olympiad.  See recertification requirements and instructions here.  

 

We plan to conduct a virtual recertification clinic in the November – December timeframe, and will send details on that to all officials.
  NCAA Rules Changes – The NCAA has finalized and published their rules changes for the next two years.  See a summary of these changes here.    (in the “Updates” section, click on “2021 & 2022 Major Rules Changes”)
