Meet Entry Fee Structure 

As a reminder to the membership, the new tiered meet entry fee structure, approved by the USA Diving Board of Directors at its June 2017 meeting, was activated on January 1, 2018. The details of the structure were discussed and presented to the membership at the 2017 USAS convention this past September. This new meet entry fee structure will assist USA Diving and meet hosts in offering an improved overall meet experience for athletes, coaches, judges and fans.

Late Fee Update

 

As of the 2026 season, coach and athlete registration deadlines will be the same. Coaches will incur a $50 Late Registration fee and athletes will incur a $100 Late Registration fee. Please check individual event pages for specific details on when the Late Registration fee will go into effect. 


If you are turning 18 this calendar year, you must fulfill the background screening requirement and Safe Sport training, even if you are still 17 during your Region Championship event. You will receive an email once the background screening has cleared. Once your background screening has cleared, you may register for your selected Region Championship, paying the late fee if it is after the late fee deadline.
