Training Provided

WVTFC Membership Fees Provide for training by professional paid coaching staff in a variety of disciplines: cross country, sprints, middle distance, race walking, jumps, and throws.

Fees cover up to 3 x 1 ½ hour sessions each week (no training in August or December)

Athletes who would like additional training to expand their skills, or who require additional training as recommended by the coach, should contact the Registrar. Facility rentals, such as weight rooms, are an additional charge.

Family Discounts (Applicable to annual memberships only and not applicable to the BC Athletics fees):

• $25 discount for a second family member
• $75 discount for a third family member

Early Bird Discounts:

Membership applications received BEFORE JANUARY 31, 2010 will be entitled to a $25.00 discount.

Non Resident Member:

Athletes who have graduated from High School and would like to continue competing for WVTFC but who are unable to train regularly, may join the club as a Non-Resident member for an annual fee of $200, plus applicable BC Athletics fee.

Fundraising Commitment Deposit:

2010 membership applications must include fundraising commitment deposit cheques of $300.00 per family dated March 31, 2010 and $150 per family dated September 1, 2010.

Mandatory club fundraising initiatives enables us to keep our annual membership fees reasonable.

Raffle:

In 2010 each family is required to sell 3 books of raffle tickets to fulfill the mandatory fundraising commitment.

Note: Raffle tickets will be distributed early in the year. Raffle deposit cheques will be cashed March 31 and Raffle Draw Date will be mid-June 2010. Members will be provided with ample time to raise the funds by selling raffle tickets and keep the funds raised. Returning club members who choose to renew after the Raffle Draw Date will be required to pay the additional $300 in fees.

Additional Fundraising Deposit:

With the lack of grants available the club must try to raise additional funds. Additional fundraising attempts will be made throughout the year in order to make up any shortfall.

The $150 fundraising cheque will ONLY be cashed if the club has not raised sufficient funds prior to September 1^st.

Member families are also required to provide 5 hours of volunteer service, either through committee involvement or WVTFC meet involvement (elementary T&F meet, Halloween cross country meet, etc), or in other areas as required by the board. The board relies on parent volunteers and requires assistance in many areas so there are ample opportunities for all families to meet this obligation. Some of the areas where we require assistance are equipment maintenance; annual awards dinner planning, public relations, school programs, etc. Monthly email communications will provide details of volunteer opportunities.

We are far more interested in active participation and volunteering than in cashing these deposits!
