Membership year runs from September 1-August 31 each year
The following Divisions and Classes of membership acknowledge the various segments of interest and their degree of commitment.
For Division A (Athlete Class), U.S. citizenship is required. Permanent residents are eligible, provided their waiting period for citizenship (as defined by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE")) will expire prior to the next Olympic Games. You may only select one class. If two or more classes apply, select the one that is most appropriate to your situation. It is a U.S. Luge Association membership requirement that each athlete, without reservation or condition, must submit to drug testing “In Competition” at selected events; “Out of Competition” at elite-level camps, team training and at USOPC facilities and “Out of Competition” anytime for athletes designated by the USLA as part of luge’s Out of Competition Testing Pool.
ATHLETE DIVISION (A): $50
Athletic Membership: Individual members (excluding masters athletes) who have actively participated in a sanctioned athletic program of the USLA within the previous or current season, or who have represented the U.S. in the Olympic Winter Games, World Championships, or World Cup Races (hereinafter referred to as Major International Luge Competition) within the preceding ten (10) years.
GENERAL DIVISION (G): $ 50
Any individual who wishes to support the activities of the Association, including retired athletes and masters athletes, who do not qualify for membership in any other individual membership category. Non-citizens who wish to join as an athletic member, must join in this category.
OFFICIALS DIVISION (O): $ 50
This classification is for “Active” FIL or Nationally certified officials only. “Active” is defined as those Officials who have worked two the preceding season and have also attended a refresher course within the past two seasons.
ACCIDENT INSURANCE REGULATIONS: This insurance policy is a “Primary/Secondary” policy which means A) If you already have your own health insurance, ours is available to you only as a secondary policy at no charge. You must make claims on your personal policy first; or B) If you have no health insurance of your own then you are required to secure your own or buy it from us for a $50.00 fee. Our policy covers luge related accidents only and not illnesses. The maximum benefit allowable is $25,000 for accidents and the policy has a deductible. We advise you to secure your own health insurance since the type of personal policy you might secure will usually cover illnesses as well as accidents. Again, our policy is for luge related accidents only.
