This pass can be bought via the USAC page on the Olymppos website and is mandatory to have as a USAC member. However, you only need to purchase it after you have been enrolled. In that case, do so immediately so that you can already show the pass at your official registration. This Olympas also allows unlimited sports at Olymppos. Click here for the sports on offer. The Olympas is only compulsory in your first year at USAC and covers the costs of the Introweekend in Bussum and your Indoor Toprope training, among other things.

Membership fee standard € 44.00 and insurance € 39.95 per year (for more info see https://verzekeringen.nkbv.nl/lidmaatschap/). If you become a member of the NKBV after 1 October, you will no longer pay the NKBV contribution for the months until December of that year, on condition that you also remain a member the following year. Membership of the NKBV + insurance is mandatory (only for the introduction weekend in September it is not yet mandatory).
