general info

FALL SESSION

STATUTORY HOLIDAYS

Group programs are not scheduled to take place on statutory holidays or weekends when a statutory holiday falls on a Monday or Friday, and program fees have been calculated accordingly. Exceptions include group fitness classes. Holiday weekend schedules and hours will be posted online at arbutusclub.com.

CLUB COACHING POLICY

The use of professional instructors or coaches from outside the Club is not permitted. Only those who have been contracted by the Club may teach on Club premises.

PROGRAM FEES

All program and related fees will be billed to your member account. Regular weekly programs will be billed monthly for the program’s duration. Workshops and short-term activities will be billed in the month they occur.

ACTIVITY & SPORT ASSOCIATION FEES

Some program areas are required to have members register with their provincial sport governing association for the purpose of insurance coverage to participate in tournaments and events. These fees may be billed seasonally or yearly and are listed on the program pages for which they apply. Some areas also have activity fees, billed seasonally or yearly, and are used to pay for special equipment, gifts, awards, seasonal parties, events, and other program enhancements.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 — to SUNDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2024

Full Year Programs: Monday, September 9, 2024 – Sunday, June 22, 2025

UNDERAGE REGISTRATION POLICY

Children underage for a specific program must receive approval from the Coordinator/Director of that program before registering. If permission is given, underage participants must register with the Recreation Services Desk directly so that we may bypass the established age restriction. Please note that receiving advanced approval does not guarantee a spot in the program.

PROGRAM APPROVALS

Some programs require approval from the Coordinator/Director of the activity area, prior to registering, to ensure participants are at a required level for the class. If a member is incorrectly registered for a class, the Coordinator/Director reserves the right to remove them and recommend another class more suitable for their age or skill level. If an alternative class is not available, the member will be removed from the class.

REGISTRATION WAITLISTS

During the initial days of each registration period, it is recommended to make use of the wait list feature if you do not secure your preferred program dates and times. As space becomes available for the program, waitlisted participants will automatically be registered and notified by email. If you no longer want a spot in the class, please remove yourself or your child from the waitlist, or from the class upon receipt of the notification. You may also contact the Registration Desk at registration@arbutusclub.com to cancel any classes or waitlists.

general info

MISSED/MAKE-UP CLASSES

If you miss a class for any reason, it is the decision of the Coordinator/Director of each activity area, as to whether they can accommodate a make-up lesson. Most activity areas do not offer this option as it is disruptive to participants registered and is challenging for staff to accommodate.

CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS

A parent/caregiver (16yrs+) must always accompany children under 8 years old while in the Club. You must drop off and pick up your child for all programs as children under 8 years of age will not be released from the program on their own.

ALLERGY AWARE

Recreation Services Staff are allergy aware and request that parents do not pack snacks for their children that contain common allergens, such as peanuts. If your child has an allergy that you would like us to be aware of, please contact the Recreation Services Desk and we will notify the instructor.

GUEST POLICY

Recreation programs and events are restricted to members only, unless otherwise noted. A limited number of guests may be permitted to attend 25 Year Club events, special youth events and various one-time workshops, if space permits before the event date.

PROGRAM FEEDBACK

We welcome your feedback about our programs, camps, services, and events at any time in person, by phone or by email. We also have an evaluation form available online at arbutusclub.com/services/recreation if you would like to complete it anonymously.

ACTIVITY COMMITTEES

The success of our activity areas is in large part due to the contributions made by volunteer Committee members. If you would like to participate in one of our Activity Committees, please fill out an application form available at Club Reception or email Craig Mercer at cmercer@arbutusclub.com.

The goal of the program is for players to have fun, create great habits, and master fundamental basketball skills. Our players do more than just ‘play’ basketball.

Then we practice, teach, practice, teach, practice... until great habits are developed.

To successfully participate in class, players must be able to listen to and follow instructions from the coaches. Any players not yet ready to do this will be asked to return to the program once they are able to do so.

ARBUTUS ACADEMY OF DANCE

The Arbutus Club Academy of Dance cultivates young dancers, ages 2.5-19 years from their first step into a dance studio through their pre-professional training. Students discover their individual artistic voices in a creative environment with the guidance of an internationally recognized faculty. The personal attention encourages students to mature as dancers, grow as individuals and enrich their passion for the art form.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

Students enrolling in dance, except preschool classes, adult and combo classes, must make a full-year commitment as classes are progressive and depend on weekly development. Class placement is determined at the teacher’s discretion.

PROGRAM ATTENDANCE

While we want our students to have fun, dancing is a commitment. Students registered in dance are expected to remain in the program for the full term. Recital dances are a part of the program, and it is expected that all students will participate in the performance and consider it a team activity with commitment to the overall success of their group. Please give prior notice to your teacher by January 25th if for some reason you will be unable to participate. We ask that parents ensure students arrive on time, attend every class, and inform us in advance by email at mhershfield@arbutusclub.com if they have to miss a class for medical, illness or other reasons.

SMALL CLASSES

All classes require at least four participants to run at the listed price. If a class has fewer students, the teacher may offer the class with an additional charge.

BALLET EXAMS

Exams motivate both serious and recreational dancers to develop discipline, confidence, and a sense of achievement. Students are examined by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, London, England, in either the Imperial Ballet or Cecchetti Canada. Usually held in June and administered by international examiners, exams involve additional expenses such as additional rehearsals, entry fees and special outfits. Instructors determine which dancers are ready to be examined. Examination candidates must register for at least two ballet classes per week from the grade one level, three to five days a week as levels progress. Students on pointe require a minimum of three ballet lessons per week.

It is not necessary to complete this program before registering in Figure Skating or Minor Hockey. However, parents should consult with the Directors of the area that they wish to enter to see if minimum technical requirements or skill levels have been attained.

The program encompasses skill levels from beginner to advanced. Participants will learn forward and backward skating skills, crosscuts, edges, turns and basic spin and jump technique. Attention will be focused on leaning on the edge, weighting on the blade and overall balance and strength. Skaters will move progressively through the system as technique is acquired.

FIGURE SKATING

The Figure Skating program is structured to accommodate all ages and ability levels. The program offers a broad spectrum for our skaters including:

⊲ Skate Canada Testing

⊲ Competitions

⊲ Concerts, Exhibitions and Simulations

⊲ Special Clinics and or Workshops

⊲ Harness, video work and analysis

JUNIOR ACHIEVERS (4+ YRS)

The Junior Achievers program encompasses 7 levels ranging from intermediate to advanced. Skaters progress from learning the basics of glide, stroke and balance, both forward and backward, to techniques for edges and turns and then to spin, jump and creative movement. This program builds on basics taught previously in Learn To Skate. Skaters will be divided into groups according to ability and may choose to supplement these classes with private lessons.

**This program requires all skaters to be in figure skating attire including figure skates, gloves, and tight-fitting athletic clothing; hockey gear (including hockey gloves, knee, elbow, and shin pads) is not recommended as it restricts movement. Helmets are encouraged but not necessarily dependent on skating skill level.

BRIAN HIEBERT

Volleyball Head Coach brian@smashvball.com

Brian is passionate about creating positive experiences for children and coaches so that they learn teamwork, humility, and self-confidence through volleyball. Brian fell in love with the game in grade 8 while playing in Port Moody on his school’s beach volleyball court and never slowed down. At 20 years of age, he moved to Toronto to train with the national team and compete on the world stage in beach volleyball. A student of the game, he is now an international referee with a goal to represent Canada at the 2024 and 2028 Olympics. After 20 years of beach volleyball, Brian found his way back to indoor volleyball as a coach at West Point Grey Academy and in 2018 he co-founded Smash Volleyball.

SMASH VOLLEYBALL

The Arbutus Club’s volleyball program will teach children the fundamentals in a skill based, recreational and non-competitive environment. Highly skilled Smash Volleyball coaches will lead this co-ed program and teach all aspects of the volleyball through age- appropriate skills, drills, and games.

PHYSICAL LITERACY PROGRAMS (6-10 YRS)

I CAN PLAY! (6-10 YRS)

The Arbutus Club I CAN PLAY physical literacy program improves kids’ ability to move on land, in/on water, in air and across ice. Kids learn to move to music, improve their agility, balance, coordination, and speed along with the ability to catch, jump, run, swim, and throw. Most of all the goal of the program is to develop a positive attitude towards physical activity, improve executive function skills, and provide participants with the tools they need to be confident and competent to play a wide range of sports so that they can say… “I CAN PLAY”!

The I CAN PLAY program is designed for all levels of ability. If you have no athletic experience this program helps you develop the tools you need to set you on course, or if you play competitive sports this program will help you become a better athlete to improve your sport performance.

Please note: This is a coed program and groups will be participating in the program together. We have separate registrations to ensure that participation is balanced between boys and girls.

We continue to honour and celebrate the past as part of the 60th Anniversary celebrations of our fair Club, so we decided to bring back everyone’s favourite post Labour Day party and make it bigger! Located in the front surface lot of The Club, StreetFest will feature a live band, a Venice Beach-style vendor boardwalk, activities for kids of all ages, and the BBQ food that made it famous in the first place. As we welcome everyone back to The Club for the fall season, what better way to get together retro-style with a party that will reel in the years?

No registration required.
