Welcome to the Florida Association of USA Track & Field

AGE VERIFICATION

Certain USATF meets require that event registrants be date-of-birth verified. Video: How to add athlete verification documents

At this time, only the National Office can process age verification documents. The Florida Association cannot do anything to expedite the process. The National office processes the age verifications on a first-come, first-served basis. Age verification is a manual process and is not "instant". See below for information about "Contacting the National Office".

CLUB AFFILIATION TRANSFER REQUESTS

Use USATF Connect to change your membership club affiliation to another club or to unattached.

Here's how to initiate a transfer: When viewing the member's profile in USATF Connect, choose Memberships to view the membership information. Under the Actions menu there is a "Transfers" option. From there, use "Start Transfer" to begin the process.

At this time, only the National Office can process transfer requests. See below for information about "Contacting the National Office".

These requests must come directly from the member, or in the case of a youth member, the parent. When adding a new membership you have the ability to select the club affiliation. But, for existing memberships, only the National Office can change an existing club affiliation.

Per "Regulation 4 - Representation" of the USATF Governance Handbook ... "To transfer representation from one club/organization to another, an athlete must not have competed for the first club in sanctioned competition for the previous ninety (90) days regardless of residency." There are some exceptions noted in the regulation.

For additional details, see Affiliation Update Requests.

 

ASSOCIATION TRANSFER REQUESTS

Use USATF Connect to change your Association, e.g. to Georgia from another Association. In the member profile, use the "Transfer Request" option to add an Adult or Youth transfer request. Video: How to request an Association transfer

For additional details, see Affiliation Update Requests.

 

CONTACTING THE NATIONAL OFFICE - ZENDESK OR EMAIL

If you have questions regarding age verification, club affiliation transfers, or any other items that need to be resolved by the National office, you can send an email to membership@usatf.org. The most efficient way to track and resolve your question is to submit a Zendesk "ticket" using usatf.zendesk.com. We suggest you use the "Sign In" option at the top right of the Zendesk page to associate your ticket with an account you create. This provides the ability to view your history of support tickets. Create a ticket with "USATF Assistance" in the drop down for "Please choose the appropriate form for your request". Note that the USATF Connect portal has a "Help & Support" option at the bottom of each page with a "Contact Support" link. This link is not as useful as the Zendesk option since the support request initiated in this way does not go directly to the USATF National office.

Review this 4-minute video on how to submit a ticket on Zendesk.

 

RESOURCES FOR OPEN & MASTERS ATHLETES

The USATF Florida Association welcomes athletes of all ages.


MEET ENTRY VIA ATHLETIC.NET

If you have an athlete "missing" from your club roster in Athletic.net it is almost always due to the fact the athlete has an incorrect club affiliation. See above on how to initiate a Club Affiliation Transfer Request.

 

ASSOCIATION SPOTLIGHT

The USATF Florida Association has a series of upcoming events you need to be aware of.
