BC Athletics has announced a modest discount on BC Athletics Insurance for 2021. Savings range from $15 for JDs to $23.63 for U18 and up (around $20 per athlete on average). Due to this discount, there will not be an increase in membership prices to cover the cost of Covid safety equipment, sanitizer and signage etc. Club memberships will remain the same price in 2021 as they were in 2020.
