The annual membership is the best deal if you will be training most or all of the year. You will be responsible for renewing your athlete's AA membership each January. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian of the athlete to maintain the membership.If the membership is not renewed, your athlete will not be eligible to participate in any meets or practices.  

*If you are new to track and haven't signed up for an Athletics Alberta Membership, please wait until September 1st to sign up to avoid paying for the fall portion twice.

Participation in our volunteer events is mandatory for the families of our athletes. 
A. BI-YEARLY CASINO FUNDRAISER

Edmonton Thunder has a casino slot every second year in even years (2020, 2022, and so on). In casino years, each athlete's family must provide at least two volunteers to work the casino. There is no cash payment alternative: Volunteers must be provided, because we require the full complement of volunteers to meet our commitment to continue with the casino in the future.

Edmonton Thunder has a casino slot every second year in even years  In non-casino years, our club holds a fundraiser. You will be required to participate as a member of Edmonton Thunder. Information will be available at registration. 

C. TRACK MEET VOLUNTEER HOURS
Edmonton Thunder is required to provide volunteers from time to time to support Athletics Alberta track meets. Each family must work the equivalent of a full day (10 hours) at a track meet sometime throughout the year. The track meets operate entirely on volunteers, including officials. It is important that we fulfill our club commitment to ensure these meet opportunities continue to be available for our athletes in the future. Emails will be sent out requesting volunteers.
​
​NOTE:
 If a family has contributed significant hours to assisting the team (team parent, assistant coaching), coaches may deem that the track meet volunteering requirement has been fulfilled. Being a member of the Edmonton Thunder Board can also fulfill volunteer requirements.  ​
