E)      WHY SHOULD I REGISTER WITH MY PROVINCE CENTRAL GAUTENG TRIATHLON (CGT) VIA TRIATHLON SOUTH AFRICA (TSA)

 

Is CGT / TSA MEMBERSHIP WORTHWHILE  ???

Yes, of course and why …

 

• Provincial / National Teams – As a registered CGT Athlete you are eligible for selection to our Provincial Triathlon and Duathlon Teams who compete at the SA Triathlon and SA Duathlon Championships.   This in turn also makes you eligible for selection to the TSA Teams selected to go to World Championships.
• Day Licences – Day Licences will apply to all un-registered Athletes at all events i.e. Joburg Tri Series of 3 events, Ironman, 70.3, 5150 and so on and as such the amount paid for registration would ultimately be the same as the amount you would spend on Day Licences without consideration of the other benefits one gets as a registered member.
• Communication – 33 CGT email Newsletters were sent to all CGT registered Athletes in 2010/2011 keeping them updated of events and relevant information in the course of the year.  In addition, those registered Athletes who had queries were professionally assisted by our offices.  Information is regularly posted on the TSA website and a new CGT website with additional information is currently being updated.
• Administration and Support – Athletes receive professional assistance from the CGT and TSA offices and all CGT Team members receive our support at National Championships where from the Membership funds, allocation is made for the management support of our CGT Provincial Teams travelling to the SA Triathlon Championships and the SA Duathlon Championships.  Once again any Athlete who has been involved in our Teams, will tell you of the fantastic support and professional manner in which our Teams handled and dealt with.
  • Quality Events – CGT and TSA ensure quality events ensuring that races that are held according to the highest ITU technical principles and competition rules, by sanctioning an event in our borders.
  • Development – your registration assists both CGT and TSA to administer and develop the sport, officials and athletes.
  • International event participation – Athletes participating in events overseas will need to provide proof of their affiliation to the National Body i.e. your CGT/TSA registration.
  • Elite Athletes – you would need to be a registered Athlete should you qualify and want to participate as an elite athlete on the national or international circuit.
  • Athlete Representation – Your Province CGT acts as the communication/ representation between yourself and the national body, Triathlon South Africa via our Provincial representation on the Board.  A large, well organised province like CGT, is obviously a louder and clearer voice to be heard, so we need your support to be heard.
  • Sponsorship and Support – Your registration is important as the more registered Athletes there are, the bigger the bargaining power of CGT/TSA to negotiate sponsorship and other support agreements for the benefit of the Athlete in our sport in particular with reference to the staging of events and training courses.
  • Athlete Insurance – All registered members of CGT/TSA Athletes automatically get cover by way of the TSA Athlete Insurance.  The cover applies to all athletes between the ages of 12 and 75 years of age whilst participating in official events held under the auspices of the TSA including TSA Official Training activities.  Full details can be obtained from the TSA Offices but a brief overview of cover to  TSA registered athletes for death, personal injury and disability cover is as detailed below,

 

o   Accidental Death

R50 000, but for athletes aged between 12 & 16 years of age R30,000

o   Permanent total disablement

Such percentage of R50,000 as is specified for the particular disability

o   Temporary total disablement

(Refer Memorandum 1) R2,000 per week not exceeding 52 weeks, excluding the first seven days of each and every claim.

(Only applicable if insured person is gainfully employed and cannot exceed 75% of that persons average weekly earnings) No cover for athletes aged between 12 & 16 years of age

o   Medical Expenses

R20,000 per Insured Person excluding the first R300 of each and every claim

 

o   IMPORTANT

(1)   Insurers maximum liability / accumulation limit per accident is R10, 000, 000.
(2)   Medical expenses cover is only applicable if there is no other cover in place (including medical aid)

 

• Social Network – As a registered CGT / TSA athlete you will meet other athletes from all over South Africa and the World who are passionate about the sport of Triathlon, Duathlon and Aquathlon.  Your CGT /TSA membership affiliates you to this global family of like-minded people.
