Register Coming SoonOceanside Track and Field Club (OTFC ) is a registered club with BC Athletics. Membership in BC Athletics ensures that athletes may participate in BC Athletics’ Championship events and are eligible for BC Athletics’ awards and provincial and national rankings.
OTFC is a member of the Vancouver Island Athletics Association, which oversees the Vancouver Island Track Meet Series. The 5 Island Series meets between April and June are: Port Alberni, Victoria, Nanaimo, Duncan and Comox. Junior Development OTFC athletes are encouraged to participate in this series. Participation in the meets is not mandatory.
JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT (Ages 9-13)
Junior development athletes are introduced to and receive training in sprints, hurdles, middle distance, relays, race walk, shot put, discus, javelin, long jump and high jump. In the spirit of physical literacy, fun, fitness and learning new track and field skills, athletes are encouraged to try new events and participate in competition.
JD athletes with a competitive bc athletic membership, and participating in track meets, can work towards achieving gold, silver and bronze crests. These awards are based on individual performances compared to standards of other athletes in their same category. It is intended to be an award every child can earn.
HIGH SCHOOL (Ages 14-18)
With teacher support BSS and KSS can host a high school track team. OTFC supports high school track with the use of OTFC equipment, equipment storage and volunteer coaching. High school practices will be held at Ballenas Secondary
High school athletes must register with their high school track program. Those high school athletes already registered with their school track program can register with OTFC when they purchase an OTFC singlet. They can additionally choose to purchase a BC Athletic Membership allowing insured entrance into BC athletic sanctioned track and cross country meets in British Columbia, these include the VIAA series (Vancouver Island athletic association track meets ). BC Athletic (BCA) membership holders will also get provincial rankings.
However, to maximize participation, high school athletes who do not have a BCA membership can pay DAY OF MEET insurance and still participate in non championship meets. For more information about high school track please contact info@oceansidetrackfield.ca or mmorrison@sd69.bc.ca
