USA Track & Field (USATF) Memberships - Alpha Crush does the administration of memberships on behalf of the athletes
- USATF Youth membership is $20 per year.
- Memberships purchased between January 1 and October 31 expire December 31 of the current year. For spring track we purchase memberships a few weeks after the athlete registers and the season begins.
- Memberships purchased between November 1 and December 31 expire December 31 of the following year.
- For fall cross country we purchase memberships after November 1 to get a full year of membership coverage. Also, because there is a short window of time between November 1st and the first championship meet requiring age verification, we first process the athletes who plan to compete *after* we receive the age verification. We do this to make sure we have their correct name and date of birth, as errors cause problems later on.
- The USATF fee is charged when you register your athlete at the beginning of the season
- Age-verification is a separate process from purchasing a membership
- The club purchases/renews the USATF memberships; the parent provides the $20 and age-verification documents.
General Notes - Age Verification Documents - Age verification is only done for new USA Track & Field (USATF) memberships.
- Renewals do not need to be age verified again. Once athlete is age verified, always age verified.
- The club administrative staff will renew the athlete's expired USATF membership.
- The USATF membership fee is part of the club registration fee.
- The club administrative staff will create the membership for the athlete.
- Valid forms for use in age verification for the athlete (only one of the following is needed):
- Birth certificate
- Passport
- Driver's license or learner's permit
- Government ID
- A copy of these forms is OK. A legible photograph is fine. A scanned, legible, emailed image of the verification document is fine.
- Give to Coach Matthew at practice or send images via email to team@alphacrush.org.
- Age verification is required if the athlete wishes to compete in certain USATF-sanctioned events (Association, Region, National).
- Age verification documents are sent to the Membership Chair at USATF Georgia Association for review. Alpha Crush does not age verify the athletes. Alpha Crush does facilitate the age-verification process by sending the Membership Chair the documentation after the membership is purchased.
