Winter covers November 2026 to March 2027. Full year runs September 2026 to August 2027 and covers the indoor season and the outdoor season.
If your athlete will train through the winter and compete outdoors in the spring and summer, choose full year. If you only want the indoor season, or you are trying the club for the first time, winter is the lower commitment. If you are not sure, email the club before you register.
Days, times and locations depend on the program and on facility availability. The club shares the current schedule directly, so email thoroldelitetc@gmail.com for the current training schedule.
Recreational athletes attend up to two practices a week. Meets are often on Saturdays and Sundays.
The winter season runs November 2026 to March 2027. Your athlete's coach confirms the first session after you register.
A full year registration continues outdoors through the spring and summer, to the end of August 2027.
Most winter training is indoors. When sessions do run outside, the club cancels as little as possible. Running groups train in light rain. Throws, jumps and hurdles are cancelled more readily because wet conditions add real safety risks.
Cancellation calls are made close to the session, using the forecast and checking with people who live near the venue. Weather across Niagara can differ from one town to the next, so the club will not always get it right. Cancellations are posted to the practice schedule and to Facebook and Instagram. A group email is not always possible, so check those first.
Yes. The club lays out the season in advance but treats it as subject to revision. Expect adjustments as school and meet calendars firm up, and as indoor facility bookings are confirmed.
Coaches are volunteers with jobs, families and, in some cases, their own studies. The club provides coaching across all event areas, but there will be occasions when a coach is unavailable. The club tries to cover the session with another coach, though that is not always possible.
For high school athletes, yes. On top of the scheduled group sessions the club asks for one day of stretching and core work, and up to two days focused on strength and conditioning. Your coach will give you the detail.
You will hear from the club by email with your athlete's training group, the confirmed days and times, and where to go for the first session.
If you have not heard anything a week before the season starts, email the club rather than waiting.
Recreational is training only, up to two practices a week, and athletes compete at Thorold Elite meets only. It is offered in Junior and Senior Development, sprints or distance.
Competitive is the full training program across all event disciplines, and athletes can enter local, provincial, national and international meets. It carries the Athletics Ontario and MTA fees plus the AO competitive upgrade for their age category.
They are the mandatory governing body memberships that let an athlete train and compete in Ontario. The club collects them at registration and passes them on. They are $35 for Kindergarten to Grade 6 and $40 for Grade 7 and up, including Masters, charged once per registrant. On the winter registration they cover the 2027 calendar year.
Competitive athletes also pay an AO competitive upgrade set by age category, from $5 at U8 to $135 at Senior and Open. This one is not added automatically. You select it yourself under Additional Purchases when you check out, so check for it before you pay.
Two things are not applied automatically, so check for both under Additional Purchases before you pay.
The AO competitive upgrade, if your athlete is registering Competitive. It runs from $5 at U8 to $135 at Senior and Open, based on birth year.
The High Performance add-on, if your athlete has been accepted into that tier.
If you are not sure whether you added the right things, email the club before paying rather than after.
Yes. On page 2 of checkout, click "Other payment methods", then "On site", rather than paying by card. E-transfers go to thoroldelitetc@gmail.com. A minimum of $200 plus all AO and MTA fees is due at registration and the rest goes on a plan. Contact Coach Fife to arrange it.
Credit card payments cannot be split. Trackie charges the full amount in one transaction.
Yes. On yearly memberships it is $50 off the second family member and $100 off the third. On seasonal memberships it is $25 off the second and $50 off the third. There is also a referral credit of $50 for a new yearly member or $25 for a new seasonal member.
Winter is a seasonal membership, so the seasonal amounts apply. Promo codes cannot be stacked. If your family qualifies for more than one, contact the club and we will issue a single combined code before you register.
Yes. Families with financial need can apply for funding through JumpStart, KidSport, Niagara Youth Need Sports or ProKids. Email thoroldelitetc@gmail.com and Coach Fife will help you find the right one.
Jumps, hurdles and throws are not offered separately at Junior Development. Those athletes register for Junior Development Sprints and work on the full skill set in that group. Jumps and throws appear as their own options from Senior Development up.
High Performance is by invitation. Athletes in Grades 9 to 12 are identified alongside the head coaches, and acceptance by the club and the athlete's primary coach is required before registering.
It is an add-on to a competitive registration, found under Additional Purchases at checkout, not a separate program. Email the club at thoroldelitetc@gmail.com before you register and they will point you to the right coach.
No. Full year registrations taken on the 2026 Outdoor site in late July carry over automatically and are valid to 31 August 2027. Coach Fife handles the move.
If you are unsure which one you are on, email the club before registering again rather than paying twice.
No. One program fee per athlete is the club's rule. Trackie will let you select a second program and bill you for both. If your athlete trains in more than one discipline, register for one and the club will add the second at no charge.
If you have already been billed twice, contact the club and it will be corrected.
No. All registration fees are non-refundable. The $100 account credit for meet entry fees is the one exception, as it is a prepaid float rather than a fee.
Outstanding balances must be cleared before a new registration can be completed. Contact the club and we will confirm what is owed before you start.
If anything here does not match what you see on Trackie, or you are not sure which registration is right for your athlete, email us before you pay. It is easier to sort out first.
Posted to the club's Facebook and Instagram, and to the practice schedule. A group email is not always possible, so check there first.
