Annual Club Membership
Clubs MUST renew their membership to continue receiving Alberta Gymnastics Federation (AGF) benefits and insurance coverage. If your club was registered with AGF for the 2021-2022 season, and remained in good standing, you can renew their club’s membership for the 2022-2023 season. The deadline is July 31, 2022.
(If you are not in good standing, you will be required to submit a new AGF Club Membership application).
To be considered fully registered a club must:
- Complete the online Club Membership Application on Uplifter
- Remit Club Membership fee payment
Please note: Registration must be completed by July 31, 2022, even if your club does not submit members until later sessions. This ensures there is no lapse in insurance coverage.
Any Club that has NOT renewed by August 1, 2022 will be perceived as non-renewing. To be re-instated the club must submit a NEW Club Membership application which will be reviewed by the Board of Directors.
