Junior Clubs

BC Junior Club Programs

BC features several junior club programs, which are loosely based in different geographic locations around the province. Junior Club ultimate in BC does not have formal club “boundaries” or any residency requirements. While it is often advantageous for juniors to play with clubs located in their communities, athletes are encouraged to participate with a club where they feel most comfortable and where they feel they will best be able to develop and enjoy the sport.
