REGISTRANTS
Who is a Registrant?

According to WPC's Bylaws, “Registrant” means any of the following who have applied for registration with the Corporation and who have been accepted as a Registrant with the Association; athletes, coaches, officials, clubs, administrative staff, and volunteers (including individuals who have been appointed or elected to a volunteer position within or by a Provincial/Territorial Section or as either a domestic or international representative of WPC in any capacity).

 

How do I/my child(ren) become Registrants?

As stated in WPC’s National Registration Policy, “To be accepted as a WPC Registrant or Participant, individuals must register with a Canadian club and its associated PSO in their primary role (player/athlete, coach, executive/volunteer), pay the associated WPC membership fee and meet all Registrant requirements* to be considered active and in good standing. However, Registrants whose primary role is official or delegate are not required to associate with a home club, solely their PSO, unless explicitly requested by their PSO.” Completion of these requirements on an annual basis is necessary for Registrants to maintain their good standing each season. 

*Registrant requirements are assigned based on an individual's role and level of participation.
