Due to new compliance standards and legislative oversight of SafeSport education and third-party background screening, all USASA adult members are now required to also hold a US Ski & Snowboard membership in the same membership category they are represented in at USASA. Once SafeSport adult compliance requirements are met US Ski & Snowboard will notify USASA and your USASA membership will become active. These new standards provide National Governing Body oversight for adult members and allow for a more transparent, secure, and safe system for our athletes.
This shift in USASA operations supports USASA’s mission of providing positive environments for young athletes and supporting the most progressive education and safety models. Maintaining the highest standards for the safety of all USASA youth and adult stakeholders is an important part of our USASA guiding principles. Highlighting this adjustment USASA has reduced all USASA adult membership pricing by 50% for the upcoming season. This helps to offset the additional out-of-pocket expenses for those adults who have not held both memberships in the past.

USASA adult athletes must hold US Ski & Snowboard membership in addition to a USASA membership. If you are not participating in FIS events then please review and choose the non scored athlete membership. You will be scored for USASA events only, and will not be allowed to participate in FIS or US Ski & Snowboard events.
The Non-Scored Athlete membership provides access to all levels of U.S. Ski & Snowboard scored and non-scored competitions at the local, divisional, regional and national level. However, as the name implies it does not include access to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard points list. This membership type satisfies adult compliance requirements for corresponding USASA membership category only. Click here to go to US Ski & Snowboard to purchase.
