Athlete Eligibility
PacificSport Vancouver Island registers athletes who have been identified in one of two ways:
1. By their Provincial Sport Organization (PSO). The PSO should notify their athletes by letter or email stating that they have met their sport specific criteria and are eligible to register with the Canadian Sport Institute and PacificSport.
2. By Sport Canada. If an athlete is receiving Sport Canada Athlete Assistance Program Government Funding (this usually indicates that an athlete is a Canadian National Team Member).
There are four registration levels consistent with the athlete performance pathway in British Columbia:
Athletes are eligible to receive services for one full year, after which time they must re-qualify according to their sport’s unique criteria.
Note that PSO’s submit their eligible athlete nomination lists to Canadian Sport Institute Pacific annually. Registered athletes receive athlete identification.
