Designed to support the continued growth of the sport, the program introduces a structured approach to certification that standardizes the evaluation of surfaces and products. Multiple pathways to certification allow for broad participation, from manufacturers to existing facilities.
As the official validator, Firefly Sports Testing conducts independent, data-driven assessments to confirm alignment with USAP’s defined standards. This ensures that facilities and products meeting certification requirements deliver a more predictable and reliable experience for the end user.
By establishing a unified framework supported by third-party validation, the USAP Certification Program creates a new benchmark for quality, transparency, and performance across the sport.
