    2023 Waiver Requests for USAS/VHSL Trained Positions

    As in the past years, for certain positions that have undergone the trainings provided by USA Swimming or the Virginia High School League, a waiver request can be submitted to the RSL by using the link to submit their forms and documentation.

    NOTE > If you are a USA official, submitting your membership card does NOT qualify you. You need to look to the top right, click on Officials, click My Official History and submit a screenshot of THAT page with your current certifications on it.

    NOTE > If you are submitting a VHSL request, you MUST include you name (found in the upper right corner) in your screenshot or your request will not be approved.
