CKA Yearly Membership

FAQ’s 

Why are we starting memberships? 

For Kettlebell Sport to become a Recognized sport in Canada we need build a membership database. The CKA has limited options to create revenue, over the years this has been out of pocket for the board members. Now that we are a registered NPO we have expenses we formally did not occur so we are now creating ways we can build the sport and the improvement of the CKA to have the best Fair Competitions to bring Team Canada on the international stage. 

What does our yearly $ go to?
