VOLUNTEER BOND

Running a track & field club is a team sport. We rely on our families to tackle the 1001 jobs needed to keep Ocean Athletics a great club for us all. To achieve this, Ocean families each complete at least 6 hours of volunteer work per year, regardless of the number of athletes they have in the club. To ensure that we all contribute to our success, a $200 Volunteer Bond per family is added during registration. When volunteer hours are complete, families may apply online (see VOLUNTEERING) for their bond to be returned. When approved, the bond is refunded to the credit card used for registration.

BC ATHLETICS

  • BC Athletics membership BENEFITS.

  • A competitive BC Athletics membership is required to compete in all sanctioned athletics events in BC.

PRORATE DISCOUNT

New athletes (Seahorse, JD & HS Plus) joining Ocean Athletics after the primary intake period (December - February) are eligible for a $25 per month prorate discount starting in March. The discount is applied at checkout using a promo code. To receive the prorate promo code, please EMAIL before registering (allow 24 hours for a response). The code is only available to members joining Ocean Athletics for the first time. The prorate discount is $25 for March, $50 for April, $75 for May, $100 for June and $125 for July. The prorate discount amount is the same for all programs during the the whole month specified.

1-SESSION TRIAL

Prospective members are welcome to apply for a 1-session trial before committing for the year. This is not a tryout, but a trial to see if Ocean Athletics’ programming is what you are looking for. There is no club fee for the trial. However, all athletes must purchase a BC Athletics “Trial” membership ($10 plus tax and processing fees) to participate. This provides insurance. If you wish to continue with the club after the trial, the amount paid for the trial membership will be applied to the BC Athletics “Competitive” membership required for your program.

Please click the link below to apply for a 1-session trial. Programs with available trials are listed on the registration form. Trials are only offered for programs with available space. Once your trial application has been reviewed, you will be contacted to purchase your BC Athletics “Trial” membership and to book your trial date. Please do not attend training before you have been contacted.

*Applications for 1-session trials for 2025 programs will be accepted starting on January 12, 2025.

WAITLIST

Ocean Athletics programs are popular! If your program is SOLD OUT, you may add yourself (your athlete) to the waitlist by using the “REGISTER FOR 2025 HERE!” button above. The waitlist option will become available when athlete year of birth information is added in the AthleticsReg system. Athletes will be sent an invitation to register for their program if a spot becomes available. Invitations will be sent in the order that athletes are added to the waitlist. Being on the waitlist does not guarantee receiving an invitation. The waitlist is not carried forward to the next calendar year. And athletes on the waitlist do not receive priority registration when a new year opens.

FALL ONLY MEMBERSHIP

For athletes only interested in fall training and cross country running, Ocean Athletics offers a fall only membership in programs that have available space. Registration for fall only memberships will open on September 2, 2025, at 9:00am. Please note that registration will be limited. We anticipate 3-5 spaces in each age group. Athletes registering for the fall only membership will be joining yearlong groups that started in January and run until December 13. The first day of fall training for JD and HS Plus athletes will be Monday, September 8. Seahorses will start on Saturday, September 13. The fall only membership includes a full BC Athletics competitive membership, an Ocean Athletics singlet (t-shirt for Seahorse), access to all age group appropriate training, and competition support for Ocean Athletics hosted and supported cross country events (CROSS COUNTRY).
