We are excited to have you join the National Team process!
Phase 1 for which this registration is for, is an open process for all DBC members which will see all athletes attending a Showcase Camp and receiving programming from the NT Coaches. The fees collected for the National Team are 100% used to pay for National Team expenses including but not limited to: facility, equipment, coach travel/accommodation and coach compensation. No NT fees collected (not a penny) are part of the DBC operating budget. All cohorts do not have the same fees though they are all very similar (within $115 of each other). Fees are determined based on program expense and anticipated recruitment.
When you register you will first select your “cohort”. What is that? Cohorts are the groupings based on age.
All individuals may register for as many cohorts as they are interested (and age eligible). If you register for an class within a cohort, you may be considered for any program within the cohort for which you are eligible.
Canada’s Para Program is made up of Para and Non-Para Athletes. Non-Para athletes that are interested in supporting the Para program are invited to register also for the Para Program. You do not need to be a Para Athlete to be part of the Para program. Para athletes are not restricted to registering for the Para program only.
You will be charged one fee regardless of how many Cohorts you select. Registration fees will be based on the program you select with the higher fee, not the order in which you select. If you complete registration and then register again, you will be charged again, so please be sure to register correctly.
