USATF Recertification

Good afternoon, I have arranged for a zoom certification/recertification meeting on Tuesday February 4th at 7:00 pm. If you are interested please use the link below to register. This link will be used to send you the zoom invite for the actual meeting. The recertification should take about 2 hours. This will replace your need to take the reviews online or in person. This is open to all officials needing to recertify at any level  as well as new officials.
3 step compliance is mandatory, as well as an updated profile.  Fees will need to be sent to the national office as well as to me for final processing. 
Please pass this link on to any interested officials.
Please use the link below to register and email me if you have any questions.
 As always bcc to protect your privacy.

 From New Balance 

We wanted to ask if you can let officials working the league meets that the facility doors typically open at 3:30 PM and are automatically monitored by an electronic system based on the campus schedule.

If any official arrives early, please have them call or text me (Saleena) at 857-330-8012 or contact the facility at 617-675-7300 for assistance if they don't her from me. 

Let me know if you have any questions! 

Thanks,

Saleena

Rules updates

Field event safety, uniform changes highlight high school rules revisions for 2022

Two rules revisions involving the competitor’s uniform, along with procedural changes in several field events designed to reduce the risk of injury, highlight rules changes in high school track and field and cross country for the 2022 season.

Updates on concussions

While concussions and suspected head injuries occur only occasionally in track and field, they do happen. Although MIAA rules do not specifically indicate a role for officials, they should continue the best practice of ensuring that the event is stopped if an athlete is suspected of suffering a head injury and should facilitate the call for and access for medical personnel. For more information, updates on rules and resources, please see Concussions.
