Do all athletes have to have a USASF membership? (exceptional athletes, exhibition teams, parent teams, rec teams, etc.)
Yes. The requirement is that any athlete that takes the floor at USASF Sanctioned Event must be a USASF Athlete Member. This includes exhibition teams, and parent teams. Athletes that compete/perform in the Special Needs division are registered by the All Star Program Owner within their program profile the same as all other athletes, but their membership fee is WAIVED when the athlete type is selected.
The USASF does not govern recreational teams nor does the USASF offer any recreational divisions.
Exhibition or Show teams are allowed to compete or exhibition at USASF Sanctioned Events but they are required to adhere to the Age Grid and Rules and must be members listed on the official USASF roster.
