Gymnastics BC is pleased to report that our membership fees will remain at 2020-21 levels for the 2021-22 AND 2022-23 membership years with the exception of the GBC Member club fee which will increase to $360 in 2021-22 and $380 in 2022-23, per previously scheduled increases.
All members receive member services associated with joining Gymnastics BC either as a club or individual member.
The membership fees are valid from September 1 to August 31 of each year.
Members who are involved in multiple roles are registered in all categories and pay only the highest membership fee (i.e. a competitive athlete who is also a recreational coach will pay $150 but will be registered in two roles).
Gymnastics BC membership fees include insurance as well as an $8 (per individual) Gymnastics Canada membership fee.
