For many meets, and especially Nationals, there are often a large number of unaffiliated adults who sometimes wish to compete together as a team. If you wish to do this, you can coordinate with other independent adults to form teams within the Alumni / Open club. As a starting point, you can reach out to potential teammates via the Just Like a Fine Wine...Adult Gymnastics Group Facebook page (this page is not affiliated with the NAIGC) or the NAIGC Gymnastics Alumni Facebook Group.
Clubs
All clubs must pay the $75 club membership fee annual. Club memberships will be valid for the duration of the NAIGC Fiscal Year, July 1 – June 30 and can be purchase here by club admins.

Start a New Club
If you are interested in starting a new club at your school or in your community, please review the new club start up kit for comprehensive information. Please fill out the New Club Registration Form. After filling out this form, a member of our Growth and Outreach team will be in touch to help you with the process. If you do not receive a response within 1 week, please email info@naigc.org to let them know you have filled out the new club registration. In the meantime, please join the NAIGC Announcement List and NAIGC Discussion List to make sure you receive important announcements.
Here are a few things to consider when starting a new club. As each school, university, and private club are different, it is a good idea to first reach out to your school’s club or recreational sports department or to your host gym owners to learn about any requirements/mandatory items that may not be listed here.
- Members
- Club officers – President, Vice President and Treasurer are good basic positions which help organize and run the club.
- Representation in your school’s “Club Sports Council”
- Practice space – can be the same as your school’s Varsity team, other on-campus practice space, or an off-campus local club (USAG, YMCA, AAU, etc.)
- For community clubs, 501c3 or 501c7 status
- School approved Charter/Constitution/Bylaws
- Insurance (if not covered by your school or private club's policy) – options include AAU and USAIGC, K&K Insurance, Foy Insurance, and Kulin-Sohn Insurance Agency.
- Coach and/or Supervisor – not required by the NAIGC but may be required by your school or host club. It never hurts to have one if available.
- Money – School fees/dues, league fees (NAIGC individual membership fee, club fee), workout facility fee (if necessary), competition fees, uniforms, and team apparel such as tshirts, sweatshirts, pants, warm ups, etc. Make a budget to help new members understand required and optional costs. Some schools may provide funding to club sports, so be sure to discuss this with your club/recreational sports department.
If you have additional questions, please contact your Regional Coordinator or email info@naigc.org.
