    Para Officials needed!

    We are in need of more certified Para officials for our Association. With the CVETC being nearby and many of us working these meets, being certified will help us all have a better understanding for those rules. Taking the Para Rules Review will give you a USATF Para Level 1 certification.  Additional information can be found at Adaptive Track & Field USA

    If you have any questions contact the SD-I Para Chair, Danny Perez, or the SD-I Certification Chair, James Crow.

    Youth Meets

    Officials are always needed at the Association's youth meets.  If you have some free time and would like more experience and training, take a look at the Youth Calendar, and let Jay Johnson that you would like to volunteer to help at one of these meets.

    Certification for 2025-2028 Olympiad

    All certified officials must be recertified every 4 years.  For information on the process for certification and recertification, go to USATF's Officials Certification Process and Rules Reviews.  You must be a member of USATF to be fully certified.  The first step in the process is to establish an account at USATF Connect.  More information and links can be found on the National Officials Committee Dashboard or USATF Officials.  Currently certified and wish to upgrade your Certification Level?  Fill out the Upgrade Application and send to the Certification Chair.  To help in the upgrade process, print out and keep track of the meetsand events you work on the Officials Resume Form.

    Uniforms

    The local uniform consists of navy USATF Officials Shirt and khaki slacks, shorts or skirts.  Morgan's Monograms is a local source for officials shirts other than the USATF shirt you were sent after your certification. Take your own garment (or purchase at Morgan's) for the embroidered USATF Certified Officials logo and your name (optional).
