Gymnastics BC Membership

Membership Fees.

Registration Handbook

2024-25 Membership Fees

The fees below were approved at the 2022 GymBC AGM. 

All members receive member services associated with joining Gymnastics BC either as a club or individual member.

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 only pay the competitive athlete fee, but they will be registered in two roles; competitive athlete and recreational coach).

The membership fees listed below include insurance and an $8 (per individual) Gymnastics Canada membership fee, where applicable. Membership fees do NOT include Zone fees.

How should member clubs present or publish GymBC membership fees to their members/clients?

Please review our news article "How to Present GymBC Membership Fees" for details.

*The Casual participant membership category permits up to eight (8) visits (between Sep 1 and Jun 30) and also allows unlimited visits in Jul/Aug to attend summer programming.

Casual membership is non-transferrable between clubs, so if an individual participates as a casual participant at more than one club, they will be required to pay the Casual membership fee at each club. This is due to difficulty in coordinating and tracking the number of visits between multiple clubs.

Please contact GymBC's Senior Manager, Operations if you have any questions.
