Reminder to Renew 2008-2009 Club Memberships and Information
Johnny Mae Armstrong, the PV AAU Registrar is asking all Club Representatives to look at your club member listing to ensure that all your players are accounted for. Also when registering please enter your club code to ensure those players are listed under your organization and not in limbo. Also please review address and other information listed under each athlete and non-athlete to ensure it is correct and accurate per the AAU By-Laws and Code.
Primary Club Contact (also must be an AAU Member) can re-register athletes and non-athletes who were members of that club in 2008 by going on line and entering the club code (last years) and the primary member’s ID number. Then you can register the club (2009) and the individual athletes by clicking next to their name. This is new this year and will make registering a lot faster without having to re-enter everyone’s information. Again please verify to ensure all info is correct or update as needed.
