BARS Training for Club and Event Admins#

USA Weightlifting will be providing 90-minute BARS training sessions for Club and Event Admin starting next week. You will only need to attend one of the training sessions and do not need to attend all of them.

Please make sure you have claimed your account on BARS prior to the training session. CLICK HERE for a quick video on claiming your account. If you experience any issues claiming your account, reach out to usaw@usaweightlifting.org.

In addition to the training sessions, we have developed a video tutorial library on our website that may also be a good reference for you. CLICK HERE to go to that video library.
