Club Requirements
As a Gymnastics BC member club, we have read GymBC's Policies and Procedures available on the GymBC website and agree to adhere to ALL published policies, including but not limited to the following:
The Club must:
- Provide a safe environment for all members (gymnasts, staff, coaches, parents, volunteers, officials, and spectators).
- Ensure that all club members (staff, coaches, participants) adhere to the GymBC Codes of Conduct, and all other GymBC Policies, Processes, Rules and Regulations.
- Track, record and submit membership data and payments monthly, including one-time visitors (i.e. birthday party & guest participants), associate member programs (i.e. school field trips), and birthday parties.
- Adhere to all established deadlines for all program activities administered by GymBC.
- Participate only in GymBC sanctioned activities and submit the appropriate documents for sanctioning requests with GymBC for all out of province activities.
- Notify and file incident reports and accident claim forms with GymBC for all injuries which occur within GymBC sanctioned programs and activities.
- Adhere to insurance requirements, including trampoline limitations during unstructured programming.
- Inform GymBC of any out of facility activities to ensure appropriate insurance coverage is available (i.e. demonstrations, parades, mall displays, etc.).
- Appoint a Joint Health and Safety Committee or Representative and ensure they are provided with the requisite training to carry out their role, as required by WorkSafeBC.
- Make every attempt to attend GymBC's annual general meeting (AGM) either in-person or virtually. Reaching quorum is extremely important for AGMs, therefore, we must ensure that we have adequate voting member attendance at our AGMs.
- Complete the annual GymBC member club survey.
- We are here for our members; therefore, we require member club feedback and engagement in order to serve the membership properly.

Understand that from time to time GymBC staff may conduct field audits, verify membership registration, request supporting documentation for one-time visitor or associate member program participation and review all competition participation to ensure registration compliance.
Failure to comply with GymBC policies, procedures, and regulations may result in placement into bad standing. Insurance coverage applies for clubs in good standing, when all requirements of registration are fulfilled. Failure to register individual members or provide required summary of participant lists will be considered an act of misrepresentation and may adversely affect the club’s membership. There will be no insurance coverage for unregistered members or unlisted participants.
