2023 Membership Registration
Club affiliation with Athletics Ontario for the 2023 Membership year is now open!
Clubs are encouraged to renew their affiliation as early as possible, as athletes will not be able to register with your club until that process has been completed, and to avoid delays and difficulties with your members’ registrations.
Note: Coaches must have completed the membership requirements in order to be fully registered, including the NCCP Safe Sport module (SS), Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders program (RIS) and a Criminal Records Check (CRC). Those memberships will be “pending” until the completion and submission of those documents.
Note: Athlete registration will open on December 1
