Annual Dues and Membership Responsibilities:

Annual dues are $25 for a single membership and $30 for a family membership.

The club operated solely through the efforts of our volunteers. In order to be able to offer reduced class fees to its members, any member who is actively using the facility to train, either in classes or unstructured training, is asked to help set up or take down mats, gating and equipment as needed each session. Club members should also be available to help out at club sponsored trials and events.
