If you're on this section of the website, chances are you're looking to channel your inner Lasha and throw some weight around. Before we get you there, there are just a few things you'll need to know to get you going.

Membership

A membership with the Alberta Weightlifting Association is required to compete in any competitions run through the AWA. Memberships can be purchased at the following link, and keep you eligible until the nearest upcoming May 31, regardless of purchase date (this the AWA competition year reset date).

Event Registration

Once you have your membership, feel free to start registering in competitions. Registration dates will be announced via email once you've purchased a membership. A tentative yearly calendar can also be found in the Events tab.

Volunteer Policy

The last criteria that we'd like you to keep in mind is the volunteer policy, which was put in place to keep costs low and help build the community. Peep the policy in the Athlete Resources tab.

Alberta Weightlifting Association acknowledges that we are on the traditional lands of the Indigenous Peoples who lived among and travelled through the land in the area currently known as Alberta. We honour the Peoples of Treaty 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10, Alberta’s Métis and Inuit people and their profound contributions to the health and well-being of this region and to our members, where we recognize that health and well-being through our sport of weightlifting is not only physical, but also spiritual, emotion and mental and is accessible to all, rooted in the principles of respect, equity, diversity and inclusivity.
