​Membership

Membership is available to those 7 years and older.  All members must be approved by the coaches.  Age exceptions may be made with approval of the coaches and board of directors.

 

Registrations for Edmonton Columbians and Athletics Alberta

• All athletes must complete an online Edmonton Columbians registration form and either submit payment or a payment plan, before being considered a member. You will not be entered into meets until this is completed.  

• All athletes must have a current Athletics Alberta Membership before being a part of practices and to be entered into competitions.  The membership can be acquired online at  www.athleticsalberta.com.  There is a separate fee for this membership. Be sure to list the Edmonton Columbians as the affiliate club to receive a discount

  

Uniform

Members must wear an Edmonton Columbians singlet during competitions. Please contact our Apparel Coordinator for details.

​

TeamSnap

Our club uses TeamSnap for communications between coaches and athletes. It is used to communicate practices changes (cancellations), posting of lost and found items, or other information.

​​

Fixtures

Meet entry and events will be decided with the coach and athlete/parent.

• Coach Blain Clouthier oversees event entries at the track on training days for the U16+.

• Entries for the U10-U14 athletes can be submitted to info@edmontoncolumbians.ca.

​

Do not contact the meet registrar directly as all entries must be approved by the coach.  Scratches (if permitted) need to occur prior to the scratch deadline or there may be an extra cost to the athlete. Late entries may not be accepted and/or extra charges may be charged to the athlete. 

​

Information regarding approved meets will be available from your coaches. Meet fees for approved events will be paid by the club for members in good standing. This includes being up-to-date on your membership fees, payment of scratch fees owed, as well as your volunteer commitments.

 

Parents are responsible for chaperoning (or arranging their own chaperone) for their underage athletes at all out of town events.

 

Scratch Policy

All meets require an entry fee for each event. If an athlete is entered in a meet and is unable to attend after the 'scratch' date passes, the athlete may be required to pay the entry fees charged to the club for his/her events. If an athlete withdraws from an event while at a meet due to a track related injury and in consultation with the athlete's coach, the club will cover the registration cost of the event.  Fees owing must be paid in full before entering any other meets. 

 

Board Meetings

Board meetings are held every two months.  An Annual General Meeting will be held in October.  Contact the Board of Directors if you have issues you would like to have addressed at the meetings. ​​
