Our Legacy Affiliation is the highest level of IGA membership for clubs that register all of their members, including squad and recreational gymnasts. This tier offers the most comprehensive support and benefits available, giving clubs full access to everything IGA has to offer. Legacy clubs are eligible for inclusion in national squads, receive exclusive discounts on services, have priority access to safeguarding and compliance support, and are fully integrated into the IGA network. This level of affiliation reflects a club’s commitment to quality, development, and the wider independent gymnastics community.
Clubs must hold a valid Legacy Affiliation and have all club details fully completed. They are required to be compliant with IGA policies and must have an accredited welfare officer with an up-to-date DBS attached to their account. All recreational and competitive members must be affiliated either individually or through bulk registration, and clubs using bulk insurance must ensure this is regularly updated to accurately reflect all participating members.
Coaches must hold active IGA insurance and have up-to-date DBS clearance. They are also required to have a valid safeguarding (CPD) qualification and be accredited with the appropriate coaching qualifications relevant to the sessions they are delivering.
