Registration for clubs begins in the late Summer or Fall (depending on whether the club offers a dryland program).  Clubs must have a minimum of 10 members to be a member club of CCS.  Fees are $15 per member and clubs are invoiced in 2 installments, one in October and one is February.  Clubs use Zone4.ca to register their members.  Please contact the CCS office to set up.
