Pearlgate members with a Full-Year Membership will receive a free NLAA Membership. Please contact Pearlgate directly to receive your free NLAA Membership as there is a separate process to do this. Pearlgate will not reimburse already purchased or renewed NLAA Memberships.

Membership in the NLAA allows an athlete to compete in a NLAA sanctioned events. Every sport organization pays insurance as a corporate body on behalf of event organizers in case of legal liability or mishaps. Without insurance individuals would run the risk of unnecessary and very costly personal involvement in legal suits. Sanction and membership fees help to cover these costs and ensure that people will be willing to volunteer their time.
