Membership & Renewal
Membership
Benefits
Kajaks offers a range of membership
types to suit all levels of involvement, from athletes to coaches to
alumni. As a BC Athletics affiliated club, BC Athletics memberships are
included with all club memberships.
All athlete memberships include coaching at regularly
scheduled workouts, the right to purchase a club singlet to wear at
competitions, and entries to track meets submitted through the coaches
(not necessarily paid for; see details below).
As a full member with Club Support, in
addition to the above benefits Kajaks will pay your meet entry fees for
pre-approved meets, as
well as team fees required for BC teams and other expenses you may qualify
for.
If you have not been competing regularly, are injured or
are new to the sport, you have the option of being a member
with No Club Support for a lower fee. With this membership you get the
standard benefits but you must pay your own meet entry fees as well as any
team fees or expenses.

Code of Conduct for Kajaks Athletes
As a member of the Kajaks Track and Field Club, you will be required to
follow certain rules of conduct while travelling with the team.
These rules apply basically to the athletes, but some are applicable to
coaches, managers, trainers, chaperones, and anyone else who takes advantage of team
travel and/or accommodation arrangements.
The rules are set out to deal with the following situations:
a) Where behaviour might interfere with the performance of another
athlete or the performance of the team as a whole.
b) Where the athlete might interfere with his or her own performance.
c) Where a member for the travelling team might bring discredit to the
Kajaks Track and Field Club
- The athlete must respect the standard rules of acceptable behaviour as
well as the rules of competition laid down for any particular meet.
- The athlete must travel with the team unless prior arrangements have
been made with the team manager.
- The athlete should compete in the team uniform.
- The athlete must accept the decisions of the coaches and managers and
if dissatisfied with such decisions, must communicate directly with the
Team Manager.
- The athlete must be prepared to pay for their own meals at Meets away
from home.
- The athlete must abide by the rules of conduct set down by Kajaks from
the time of departure to the time of returning home.
Any serious breach of these rules will mean that the athlete will be sent
home at his or her parents' expense.
