As the season comes to a close, we want to make sure you understand the two ways to qualify for Nationals. Did you know that if you compete in competitions outside of your home series, these results count toward your National Ranking and improve your chances of qualifying?
How do I qualify for Nationals?
The goal is to have the top ranked competitors regionally and nationally participate in the National Championships.There are two main pathways to qualify for the USASA National Championships: through your Regional Series, or through the National Rankings. Quotas are established each season as a percentage of the nationwide membership in each age group not to exceed 68 competitors. Quotas will be released on March 4th, 2024.
All qualifications must be claimed within the 48 hr timeframe or the position will be forfeited. Email notifications are not sent to advise of positions available. There are no exceptions, you must check your athlete profile within the time frames posted for each round of invites and accept your position. If you miss the window to claim your position we will award your qualification to the next available competitor.
