    PROVINCIALS -Each family must volunteer for 2 Provincial positions over the weekend or the week leading up to if your not available the weekend

A summary of your shifts can only be done by request to the volunteer coordinator. 

Reimbursements for injuries or other possible exemptions such as a family transfer over the summer to a different area will be at the discretion of the board.  There will be no reimbursements if a child simply decides they no longer like participating and will not be continuing. Trial license are available if a family wishes to try BMX before committing to the full season.

Independent riders over 16 years of age only need to complete half of the shifts, during the season.

*Independent Rider means any rider who independently gets themselves to the track, pays their own fees, races and does not in general have “family support”. They are adult racers who find it difficult to complete volunteer shifts during race nights because they themselves are racing.
