MEMBERSHIP THAT FITS YOUR GYMNASTICS
Whether you are looking for coach education, recreational gymnastics or full competitive affiliation, IGA offers different affiliation options designed around the activities your club provides.
Choosing the correct affiliation is important. Your affiliation determines the services, events, support and insurance arrangements available to your club and members.
We provide three affiliation options.
UK & NI: 1 October – 30 September – Renewals Open 1 September
Ireland: 1 September – 31 October – Renewals Open 1 August
Membership and affiliation must be renewed annually. Each year clubs will go through a compliance check to ensure all compliance is met before insurance is renewed.
Clubs should ensure that affiliation, coaches, gymnasts and mandatory credentials remain valid and up to date. Allowing membership or required credentials to lapse may affect compliance and insurance.
Yes. If your club’s activities change, contact IGA before commencing activities outside the scope of your existing affiliation.
No. IGA does not provide a competitive-gymnastics-only tier. The only option we do have for clubs who are not Legacy is access to open competitions only. This does not include IGA’s main programmes and pathways.
No. Unity is intended for recreational/GFA provision. Clubs delivering competitive disciplines require Legacy Affiliation. Legacy Affiliation requires all clubs to register all members under the affiliated club.
Your affiliation should reflect the activities your club actually provides. Access is for coach education, Unity is for recreational/GFA provision, and Legacy provides full affiliation for clubs including competitive gymnastics. Upon registering your club, you will be asked to fill in an intention form, this is where you must declare your activities and an affiliation tier will be allocated to you.
