CLUB SANCTIONING MEMBERSHIP SCREENING INFO
HOW TO REGISTERFreestyle Canada and Freestyle Alberta Memberships
Membership is a requirement to participate in all Freestyle-sanctioned activities and to join a Freestyle Club within Alberta. Across Canada, Snowreg by Uplifter Inc. is the platform used for all Freestyle Memberships. Please review the information below for a guide on purchasing memberships and their details.
The national and provincial bodies collect the membership fees directly, so you see the two items in your cart. The Freestyle Canada membership covers each participant’s Commercial General Liability insurance. Freestyle AB membership fees are used for administration, coach development, and Safe Sport resourcing.
Memberships are valid from July 1 to June 30 each year.
*Freestyle has membership types to suit individual and club needs. Any club or provincial athletes who upgrade to the next membership level partway through the year only pay the difference in the rates.
