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.
NEW FOR 2026 - ATHLETES BORN IN 2014 & 2013
Ocean Athletics is a competitive track and field club. Success in athletics requires commitment, consistency, and hard work. To ensure our programs continue to meet our athletes’ needs, we are implementing a 2-session trial process for applicants born in 2014 and 2013 (grades 6 and 7). Before committing for the year, prospective members must demonstrate that they can meet these Ocean athlete expectations:
Be ready to start training on time.
Listen to coaches and follow instructions.
Give their best effort during each training session.
Be a good team member by being positive and encouraging others.
Manage themselves appropriately in a structured training environment.
The focus is on attitude and not on competitive performance. In our experience, from attitude comes behaviour, effort and commitment. For these reasons, only athletes that demonstrate a good attitude will be invited to join after the 2-session trial.
REQUEST A 2-SESSION TRIAL:
Click the "REGISTER FOR 2026 HERE!” button above.
Create an AthleticsReg account (or use an existing account if you have another athlete in the club).
Add your athlete to the “WAIT LIST”.
A 2-Session Trial Application will be emailed to you within 48-hours.
There is no Ocean club fee for the 2-session trial. However, a BC Athletics trial membership must be purchased ($10 plus fees). This provides insurance. The link to purchase the trial membership will be emailed to you when your trial application is processed. If your athlete is invited to continue after the 2-session trial, the $10 paid will be applied as a credit towards the full competitive BC Athletics membership required.
2-session trials will be available starting on January 12, 2026, for programs with available space. Applications will be reviewed starting on January 8, 2026.
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 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 (JD & HS Plus programs only).
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.
NOTE:
1-Session Trials for 2026 will be offered starting on January 12, 2026, in programs with available space.
Trial applications will be reviewed starting on January 8, 2026.
1-Session Trial are not available for athletes born in 2014 or 2013. A 2-Session Trial is required. Please see “NEW FOR 2026” above.
WAIT LIST
Ocean Athletics programs are popular! If your program is SOLD OUT, you may add yourself (your athlete) to the wait list by using the “REGISTER FOR 2026 HERE!” button above. The wait list 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 wait list does not guarantee receiving an invitation. The wait list is not carried forward to the next calendar year. And athletes on the wait list 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 August 4, 2026, at 9:00am. 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 12. The first day of fall training for most programs will be Saturday, September 12. 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).
FALL VOLUNTEER BOND: A $50 refundable Volunteer Bond per family will be added at checkout. The bond is refunded when 4 hours of volunteer work (per family) is completed at our Festival of Cross Country event on September 19. See VOLUNTEERING.
