What is USA Track & Field?

USA Track & Field is the national governing body of track & field. Before any athlete may register for and compete in a USATF-sanctioned meet, whether as a member of the Jets or not, he/she must first become a member of USATF. The cost of the athlete's USATF membership is $20.00. Any athlete wishing to join the Jets must complete the USATF membership form along with proof-of-age verification, such as a copy of a birth or baptismal certificate, state or military I.D. card, or driver's license. Returning Jets will fill out the renewal USATF form and will not need to provide a proof-of-age verification. Athlete's must have the verified USATF card in hand by the athlete's first meet. This process can either take a week prior to a track meet or stand in a long line at the track meet. Membership is encouraged as soon as possible. If you would like to join online, it takes a password from USATF, a credit card and $20.00.
