2013-2016 Certification Process
The re-certification process officially begins November 1, 2012. You must be a 2013 USATF member in order to apply for recertification. You may obtain a 2013 membership online at www.USATF.ORG beginning November 1st. The cost is $30 for adults (19 years old or older) or you can save money and the hassle by taking a four year membership for the entire Olympiad for $100.00. Once you have obtained your 2013 membership please fill in the membership number in the recertification application.
USATF National Officials Committee has established a certification test that must be completed and minimum scores that need to be attained based on each certification level. We have mailed you the test based on your current certification level. Please contact Ed Sabin if you have not received a test or have any questions. Please complete the test and send it to Ed Sabin at crawfordsabin@comcast.net along with the meets you have officiated in the last two years, recertification form, and fee.
