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.
  • 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.
