Twizzlers Fees & Membership
British Gymnastics & Trampoline Membership
Like all sports, gymnastics & trampoline has a governing body which in this instance is British Gymnastics. This requires all clubs and members taking part in the sport to be a member.
Depending on the competition level will depend on the membership required. These are Community, Competitive & National. Recreational gymnastics & trampoline only require the community membership. BG Community is currently £24 per year. For our senior squad members and those competing at WAG Regional & trampoline inter-regional level 1 and above require Competitive and is currently £60. Please speak to your coach to confirm which membership you require.
British Gymnastics membership is direct, this can only be done through their website JUST GO. Membership runs from October – September every year and renewals are due by the end of September. Gymnasts who are not registered will not be able to train or take part in any classes or competitions. This is set by British Gymnastics not by Twizzlers to ensure everyone taking part is covered.
If you are unsure about the level of membership or having any issues, please speak to your coach. At all levels membership goes towards personal insurance, safeguarding and promoting the sport at grass roots level. To see what BG membership fees go towards please follow this link to find out more.
Twizzlers Club Membership
Alongside the BG membership Twizzlers has our own club membership which is also an annual payment made in September, this is currently £18 per year. This covers the clubs affiliation with both British Gymnastics & London Gymnastics, Insurance, Maintenance & Servicing of all our equipment and allows us to hold events such as the Twizzlers Display and Internal & Invitational Club Competitions throughout the year.
Other Costs!
We are fortunate enough to be able to compete in both gymnastics and trampoline at all levels. These can be anything from a local competition to a National Event which then brings their own additional costs. Firstly this is the competition entry fee which are not included in the monthly fees, these vary depending on the level and number of events being entered for.
Most competitions have a clothing requirement to be worn whilst taking part which forms the second additional cost being Twizzlers uniform consisting of club leotard and shorts which is required to take part in external competitions as a minimum. It is also recommended that children don’t train in the competition leotards on a weekly basis so a training or alternate leotard is required.
The majority of the trampoline squad also prefer to wear specialist shoes to jump in and most of the male trampolinists will wear white trousers (longs).
For all disciplines we also have squad tracksuits & club t-shirts to purchase.
If you have any questions around competition or additional costs or want to find out some of the locations we travel to please speak to Angie or Mel.
