In compliance with the NGJA By-laws in order to qualify for NGJA membership a judge needs to:
(i) not be on the USA Gymnastics suspended or banned member list;
(ii) pay all required membership dues each year to the NGJA and to the NGJA Member Association where I reside (if none exists in your area, then pay dues to the NGJA Member Association that held the certification course you attended); attend a NGJA judge certification course. The judging year ends August 31 in the same calendar year after the conclusion of state, regional, national, and Senior competitions. Generally, USA Championships concludes the judging season.
(iii) pass all NGJA required tests. If I fail to complete any of these requirements for NGJA membership, I understand I will not be a NGJA member and will not be eligible to judge any competition level that requires a judge to be a NGJA Member.
