So you want to join SUSA? Here is what you need to know:
We begin with a tryout.
Most tryouts are held on scheduled days at Washington City Community Center. Please contact Coach Dani (TEXT 435-669-6093) to find out when the next tryout will be held.
Once we evaluate your child's skills, we will be able to tell you which of our groups would be the best fit.
We can then discuss locations, practice times and costs of the program. Generally, we have the following options, but your child's tryout is critical to determining the appropriate group.
Pre-Team: Discovery Track
- Pre-Comp 1 -- Beginner Skills -- 2 days per week for 45 minutes.
- Pre-Comp 2 -- Intermediate Skills -- 2 days per week for 45 minutes
Competition Team: Explorer Track
- Explorer 1 & 2 (intermediate skill levels) -- practice minimum 2-3 days per week for 75-90 minutes
Competition Team: Adventure Track
- Adventure 1 & 2 (ages 9-15, advanced skill levels) -- practice minimum 4-5 times per week for 90-120 minutes
- National Development (ages 15+, advanced) -- practice minimum 8 times per week for 120 minutes plus dryland workouts
Once you have been assigned a group, go online to register at www.susastingrays.com.
Click on the button labeled "Registration" under the pictures on the Home Page. Choose the correct team -- either Competition Team, Pre-Comp Team, or HS Development. Please note that registration for Summer Team is a different website and database (the link will take you there).
For Pre-Comp groups, you pay a one-time fee per session.
For our Competition Team, you will be required at registration to pay USA Swimming registration* and team membership dues. If registering after the 25th of the month, you will not be billed for that month (you can start on the first of the following month). If registering before the 25th of the month, you will be billed for that month. Dues range from $75-$120, depending on your location and practice group.
Please pay attention to the agreements you are electronically signing at registration, particularly the Financial Responsibility Contract. For some groups there are other fees for meets, fundraising and service hours may be required. Submitting registration means you have read and agreed to these agreements, which are required to become SUSA members.
After registering, you should receive a confirmation email prompting you to create a login and password.
This password will allow you access to our site, including viewing your billing account, signing up for meets and checking results. If you do not receive an email within one week of registering, please call Coach Dani at 435-669-6093.
