INTRO TO CHEERLEADING

Annual Membership

  • An annual Gymnastics BC ($44) and Sunshine Coast Gymnastics ($22) membership fee is required and will be charged at the time of registration. Membership includes sport accident insurance. 
  • All membership fees are valid from September 1 to August 31 each season. 
  • If you have a current GymBC membership with another club, our system will still charge you for one. Please email info@suncoastgym.ca with the name of your club and you will receive a refund for the GymBC portion of your membership fees upon the club's confirmation.  

Forms of Payment

Payments may be made either in full or through predetermined instalments. Accepted forms of payment are credit cards or pre-authorized bank transfers. To ensure a smooth checkout process, please have the relevant information on hand during registration. 

Important: We no longer accept e-transfers as a form of payment; unfortunately, managing this form of payment required considerable admin time, which is challenging as a small business.
