The USEF Developing Athlete Program (DAP) for Combined Driving opens applications bi-annually for interested drivers who are competing at the Preliminary level or above. If you have long-term goals within the sport of combined driving, then submit an application! Click here to read about the minimum requirements for eligibility and the preferred criteria for participation. To apply, go to the Athlete Dashboard on your My USEF portal and click on “Online applications.”

The DAP provides training opportunities with guest clinicians about once a month, as well as program management support and educational opportunities. Members of the program are invited to attend as many clinics as possible in order to progress to the next level or prepare for an upcoming competition. Each driver also has a custom plan to acknowledge their strengths, work on their weaknesses, and develop homework to help them achieve their goals.
