      The criteria for becoming a member of A.G.R.O. Suspension Team
      is simply to attend meetings and pay monthly dues.


      Rules and Regulations

      1. We require that everyone in attendance be respectful at all times. Leave your drama and negativity at the door.
      2. You must be 18 years old or older to suspend. Minors are not prohibited from attending, however, activities and situations observed at A.G.R.O. meets are extreme and may not be appropriate for some younger attendees.
      3. Due to the inherent dangers involved with working with blood and overhead rigging, DO NOT TOUCH anybody or anything without proper training or authorization from a department head or administrator.
      4. At the beginning of every meet a list will be compiled for those who wish to suspend that day. Priority will go as follows: FIRST will be non-members and new members who have attended twice and are current on dues and did not suspend the previous month. SECOND are members in good standing who are current on dues and did not suspend the previous month. THIRD will be members in good standing who are current on dues and did a suspension the previous month. LAST will be members who are not current on dues. If you have not paid dues that day or have not worked out an arrangement with your chapters administrators, you will not be considered for suspension at that meet.

      What you can expect from us:

      • We adhere to the highest standards of universal precautions and aseptic technique.
      • We only use equipment rated for overhead use.
      • We will not use group funds for anything other than supporting the crew.
      • We will normally perform one suspension at a time, focusing all our energy to provide you with the most supportive atmosphere for your suspension experience.
      • We will be clean and sober.
      • We will constantly be working on continuing education, and will keep up with the newest trends and and latest equipment.
      • Active dues paying members will have access to any rooms or transportation provided at group events.

      What is expected of you:

      • You must attend and pay dues at two consecutive meets prior to qualifying for suspension. Non-members do not have to attend twice to suspend.
      • All members are required to pay $20 dues every month, regardless of whether you suspend or are in attendance that month ($240 per year).  The non-member suspension fee is $100.
      • We encourage all members to be active participants and take the incentive to learn all aspects of the suspension, including but not limited to- piercing and rigging.
      • You should be well nourished, hydrated, and in good health to suspend.
      • You must be sober and of sound mind to suspend.
