Registered Coach (“RC”) and Registered Medical Provider (“RMP”) (collectively “Support”), and the Authorized Athlete Representative (“AAR”) credentials are designed to allow an athlete’s coach and/or personal support access to specified areas that may include the stadium, warm-up area, and/or practice track for the purpose of preparing for competition and access to seating in the competition venue in order to support your athlete. Credentials are non-transferrable, and each support person will only be allowed to receive a maximum of one credential per category.
Credentials can be obtained at Credentialing/Packet Pick-Up on-site for the following events:
Athletes will have the option to designate one (1) complimentary credential per Support category listed below by specifying the membership number of the qualified individual designated to receive that option on his or her online registration (entry form). After the declaration window has expired, changes must be made on-site at the athlete accreditation check-in table. Only athletes are able to designate Support on-site and all persons receiving a credential for the Event must follow the USATF event guidelines for COVID-19.
*Each athlete upon checking in will be provided one coaching box pass, that will grant access to stadium, to be given to either their designated Registered Coach or Registered Medical Provider.
All coaches designated to receive a “RC” credential must be USATF 3-Step Safe Sport Compliant, meet the USATF Education Standard, and be specified on the athlete's entry form in advance or added (by athlete) late on-site – subject to USATF COVID-19 Policies and Procedures. Individuals must have a green (current) status on USATF Connect under the Memberships, Center for SafeSport Training, Background Screening, and Coach Certifications tabs through the last date of competition. A requirement marked “Pending Approval” does not qualify as current. Please allow 10 business days for new/renewal screenings to complete. Please view the following link for more details on the USATF Coaches Registry.
Personal Support designated to receive a “RMP” credential must be USATF 3-Step Safe Sport Compliant, pass the NCSI medical licensure screen, and be specified on the athlete's entry form prior to the close of entries or added (by athlete) late on-site – subject to USATF COVID-19 Policies and Procedures. Only the individuals specified by participating athletes for this purpose will be allowed to receive a “RMP” credential. Only individuals with an RMP credential will be allowed to perform manual therapies inside of the facility. You will not have the option to sign up for the USATF Medical Provider Registry after the close of entries to obtain a medical credential.
Personal support designated to receive a “AAR '' credential must be USATF 3-Step Safe Sport Compliant, a current (2022) Authorized Athlete Representative, and in good standing with all USATF Authorized Athlete Representative requirements.
