USATF-LI NEEDS YOU!!

BECOME A CERTIFIED OFFICIAL

Track & Field meets, Race Walk events and Road Races cannot take place without the great officials of USATF-LI. As officials, we 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 of the competitors.

It is easy to do.

Visit our website, long-island.usatf.org and begin the process of becoming an official.

You must be a USATF member. On the website, click on "Membership" and renew your membership in USATF-LI for the coming year. Click on "Officials" and complete the Officials Certification form.

Training clinics are being planned for the new 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 Newsletter and website for announcements of the times, dates and subject matter of these clinics.

We look forward to having you as part of the Long Island officiating family.
