This is not available for track rascals.

OAC has adopted a “No Pay, No Play” policy, whereby OAC fees that have not been paid in full (or whereby a pre-approved payment plan is not in place) by the athlete’s first training session of the season, then that athlete will NOT be permitted to train and/or compete in OAC meets. Additionally, any athlete with outstanding fees from any previous season(s) will not be permitted to train and/or compete in OAC meets unless a payment plan is in place.
– Annual BC Athletics Fee –
– Spring/Summer Fundraising –
Fundraising is important to the function of our club and we require all athletes to be involved. We will once again be holding our summer raffle. Each athlete/family will purchase 30 raffle tickets ($150) as part of their registration, which you can sell to recoup your money or keep to win one or more of the fabulous prizes! Track Rascals are not expected to purchase/sell tickets (although they may if they wish).
– Sibling/Family Discount –
There is a 10% discount for a 2nd (younger) sibling and 15% for 3rd + (younger) from the OAC training fee. Please contact Karen at manager@okac.ca for a sibling discount code before you register.
– Pro-Rated Fees –
Fees are not pro-rated for practices missed or late registration at any time.
The BCA fees are never pro-rated.
– Refunds –
As the number of athletes and funding is used to determine coaching requirements and funding, the Club does not provide refunds as a matter of policy. However, in the case of medical circumstance, some level of refund of the OAC Training Fee will be considered at the discretion of the Club Executive. However, the BC Athletics Fee portion of the membership fees and the raffle tickets are non-refundable.
