Benefits of Joining
Joining a community that are committed to improving their physical and mental wellbeing for as little as $20 a year ($10 if you are a GSAA member)
Eligibility to participate and vote in General Meetings, including standing as a committee member or officeholder or some other volunteer capacity. There are always roles such as managing social media, outreach, coaching for those who like to volunteer.
All new SKS members are eligible for a complimentary introductory one-on-one kettlebell lifting session with one of our trainers (conditions apply)
Eligibility to register for SKS events such as the Sydney Cup and the Annual Tournament (lifting fees apply)
Which member category is best for you?
There are two major classes of membership available:
Ordinary members who reside in NSW who are eligible to compete and participate in events, as well as vote at general meetings. The 12 month cost is $20 or $10 if you are an existing GSAA member. Ordinary Membership would suit athletes who live in or are willing to travel to Sydney to compete.
Associate members who can reside anywhere and whose primary interest is in supporting the association, but who are ineligible for competitions, events, holding committee positions or voting. The cost is $1 for 12 months.
It is expected that all members support the objects of the association and abide by its Constitution including the Code of Conduct. If your primary purpose in joining is participating in SKS hosted events like the Sydney Cup, then be aware that our focus is in the Sydney metropolitan area and therefore an Associate Membership may be more appropriate.
Affiliations
SKS is not exclusivily affiliated with any other organisation however we work very closely with GSAA, and run the Sydney hub for their national events. Lifters wanting to particpate in these events, like Interstate Opens, or Nationals, or State of Origin, must be registered with the GSAA.
