A9. USATF is the National Governing Body for Track & Field in the United States and a member of the United States Olympic Committee. CIF is the governing body for all of California high school sports programs. The AAU is now a private organization that encompasses 37 different sports including mainstream football, basketball, track & field and also activities like clogging, baton twirling, and trampoline. Only scheduling or restrictions from schools would prevent a club or an athlete from competing in events staged by these three organizations.
