Eligibility and Medicals

Many sport programs require good upper and lower body strength, coordination and endurance. All individuals must be registered as an SOBC – Vancouver athlete in order to participate. 

The typical program year is September-August. All athletes must renew their Registration annually. For safety and liability reasons, the medical forms for each athlete participating in a program (or competition) must be available on-site. 

An athlete cannot participate (in training or competition) if there is not a current completed medical on hand, regardless of whether they, or their guardian, give their authority to participate without one.

As health conditions and medications can change regularly, it is the responsibility of the athlete and their family to advise of changes on their medical form.
