The BC Sports Rep Association (BCSRA) is a non-profit society dedicated to unifying sales agents and representatives within the British Columbia sporting goods industry. Our members travel and operate throughout British Columbia and the wider Western Canadian territory.
To support our community, we host three buyer markets each year (Winter, Summer and Fall Shows). These high-profile events give members an exclusive platform to exhibit and sell their products directly to retailers.
Please note that membership is strictly required to exhibit at our shows.
Membership Ownership & Rules
- Individual-Only Memberships: Memberships are granted solely to individual agents—not to agencies, brands, or companies.
- Non-Transferable: Because memberships belong to the individual, they cannot be transferred to other employees or colleagues.
- Tied to the Agent: If an agent leaves an agency, the BCSRA membership stays with the agent, not the company.
How to Become a BCSRA Member
Apply Online

About the Member Directory
The Member Directory and Show Book are the BCSRA’s most powerful marketing assets. Both platforms showcase our attending agents, providing retailers with direct contact info and a comprehensive list of represented brands.
Every attending retailer receives a copy of the printed directory. It serves as an essential tool for scheduling appointments during the show—and remains a highly valued reference guide all year long. Plus, retailers can search our active agent database on the website anytime.
Maximize Your Impact with Advertising
Advertising in our Show Book is an exceptional, budget-friendly opportunity to put your brand directly in front of a highly targeted audience of motivated buyers.
