NOTE: Members are only required to pay for one membership per season. For Members submitting more than one Registration--Junior, Adult and/or Non-Athlete, please note that SportsEngine will automatically have the cost variations applied during check-out.

NON-ATHLETES WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY ALSO PLANNIG TO REGISTER AS AN ATHLETE THIS SEASON - 

For the 2024-25 NWBA season NEW athletes with a spinal cord injury that have not previously been registered with the NWBA will have their membership dues fully funded at no cost if they register by October 31! The support to cover the cost of these membership dues for this season for those athletes with spinal cord injuries is being provided by a Craig H. Nielsen Foundation Grant awarded to the NWBA.  For those with a spinal cord injury this member benefit will remain available until CHNF grant funds have been exhausted.  More details and process for the membership dues being funded will be integrated into the Junior Athlete and Adult Athlete Registrations. 

We appreciate the consideration by athletes with spinal cord injuries to make a donation in the amount of their expected membership dues when completing their registration!
