2. Description of Service

US Athletic Fuel provides structured sports-performance training, athlete nutrition education, and development tools for boys and girls ages 8–24. The Service includes assessments, meal-planning tools, progress tracking, hydration protocols, and educational resources. The Service is intended for educational purposes only.

3. User Accounts & Authentication

Access requires a USI account. Authentication is brokered through the USI Hub:
