Registration
How athletes and teams register to race in the Southwest Conference
Registration
How it works
Racing in the Southwest takes two registrations, and the order matters: national USCSA registration first, then Southwest event registration through your team captain.
Register nationally at USCSA.org
Everyone starts here — athletes, teams, and institutions. National registration is your USCSA membership and what makes you eligible to compete. It happens on the SportsEngine platform at USCSA.org, where you'll also find national fees, deadlines, and required documents.
Captains register the team for Southwest events
Only team captains do this step. Once your athletes have finished national registration, log in to the captain portal, pick your events, select your athletes, and submit payment. The conference approves registrations before race day.
Athletes: you're done after step 1 — your captain takes it from here. Keep in mind that Southwest registration fees are non-refundable.

Once both registrations are approved, you're set. Check the schedule for event dates and watch for start lists as they're published.

Who does what
Athletes
Register yourself at USCSA.org — that's your only step. Your team captain registers you for Southwest events, so once national registration is done, you're done.
Team captains
You do both steps: make sure your team and athletes are registered nationally, then register them for Southwest events in the captain portal and submit payment.
