Club/Organization Membership

For competitive teams who want to participate as a club in competition, enter relay events, or have particular athletes represent their club in competition. Non-Competitive Organizations may join for limited benefits (such as discounted event sanction fees.)

Membership Types	Competitive Club, Organization
Fee	Fees vary by USATF Association, per calendar year. To check your Association’s Club/Organization Member fee, search for your Association here.
Duration	Memberships are active for the calendar year in which they are purchased. Memberships expire on December 31st of each year.
Joining Clubs	Club Members who join between November 1st and December 31st of the calendar year, will enjoy membership at no additional cost for the following calendar year as well.
Club Renewals	Current Clubs may begin renewing their membership on November 1st of each year, or elect to participate in the auto-renewal option.
Refund Policy	Club Memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Club Membership Approval/Activation	Once submitted, a club’s membership application must be approved by their local USATF Association. Once approved, the club membership will become active and eligible for benefits and competition.
Club Requirements	Clubs must list all coaches, volunteers and club administrators as part of their application. All of these individuals must be SafeSport Compliant in order for the club to be approved and to remain active. SafeSport Compliance requirements include having a current Individual Membership, a successfully passed background screen, and a successful completion of the SafeSport Course. Clubs who do not follow these requirements will not be approved for club membership, or be covered by the General Liability Insurance policy. All coaches, volunteers and club administrators must remain compliant at all times, or the club’s membership will be deactivated.
Association Designation	All clubs are assigned to a local USATF Association. Assignment is determined by where a club is located.
Club Athlete Representation	A club’s roster should include athletes who reside within the same USATF Association as the club, in order for those athletes to compete representing that club. Adult athletes may submit a request for an Association Transfer through USATF Connect, if their club is outside of their association of residence. Youth athletes may request a Youth Rule 300 Waiver through USATF Connect.
