Applying for a 2009 USA Triathlon License

Hi Rocket Sports Families,
To apply for a USA Triathlon license, the easiest thing to do is apply for it and pay online. They give juniors a discounted fee of just $5.
You can apply online or print out a USA Triathlon application at this address:
https://www.usatmembership.com/default.aspx
With USA Triathlon there is no place to state team name, so don't worry about it on the application. But please DO inform the coaches and officers of your child's USA Triathlon license number. We have to report a USA Triathlon Membership roster to USAT, and this may help us get junior devo grants from them.
Last thing, just to be clear..... You cannot race a USA Cycling event with a USA Triathlon license, and visa-versa. Additionally, several local triathlons do NOT require a junior to be licensed to race. HOWEVER, to be on our racing team, your child has to hold at least one of these licenses (for club liability reasons). Many of us have our kids have both, since they race both.
Sincere regards,
Coach Fuller
