Track and Field meets, Race Walk events and Road Races cannot take place
without the great officials of USATF Long Island. As officials, you provide a fair
and safe environment in which our athletes can compete to the best of their ability
and, in many cases, advance to regional and national events.
Becoming an official is a way to remain active in our sport and to give back to all
the competitors.
BECOMING AN OFFICIAL IS EASY TO DO!
Visit our website, long-island.usatf.org and begin the process of becoming an
official. Click on “Officials” and complete the Officials Certification form.
YOU MUST BE A CURRENT USATF MEMBER! To renew your membership click on
“Membership” on our website and renew your membership for the current year.
Training clinics are being planned for the year. These clinics ensure that all
officials are familiar with USATF rules and that they are prepared to do a great job
at meets. Watch the Officials Newsletter and website for announcements.
