general info SPRING SESSION
WINTER/SPRING SESSION
Monday, March 28, 2022 — to — Sunday, June 26, 2022
Tuesday, January 4, 2022 — to — Sunday, June 26, 2022
STATUTORY HOLIDAYS
UNDERAGE REGISTRATION POLICY
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 one week prior to the holiday.
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.
CLUB COACHING POLICY
PROGRAM APPROVALS
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.
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.
PROGRAM FEES All program and related fees will be billed to your member account. Regular weekly programs will be billed monthly for the duration of the program. 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.
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 out of any classes or waitlists.
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.

general info CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS
ACTIVITY COMMITTEES
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.
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 Sue Snow at ssnow@arbutusclub.com.
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, 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 at arbutusclub.com/services/recreation if you would like to complete it anonymously.

dance THE DANCE PROGRAM 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. Personal attention encourages students to mature as dancers, grow as individuals and enrich their passion for the art form.
MARLENE HERSHFIELD Dance Director mhershfield@arbutusclub.com Marlene Hershfield, A.I.S.T.D, is one of Vancouver’s most respected dance educators.

Marlene is proud of her dynamic team of experienced teachers who are sure to inspire your children to explore and enjoy dance in many exciting forms.
PROGRAM INFORMATION Students enrolling in dance, except for preschool classes, are required to make a full year commitment as classes are progressive and depend on weekly development. Class placement is determined at the teacher’s discretion. There will not be a dance recital in exam classes.
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. 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 must miss a class for medical, illness or other reasons.
SMALL CLASSES All classes require a minimum of five participants to run at the listed price. If a class has fewer students, the teacher may offer the class with an additional charge. Members will be contacted prior to incurring any additional costs.
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 Society of Dance or the Cecchetti Society. Usually held in June and administered by international examiners, exams involve additional expenses such as entry fees and 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. Students on pointe require a minimum of three lessons per week. A R B U TU S C LU B . C O M

SPRING BREAK SQUASH CAMP (8-11YRS)
WEDNESDAY NIGHT HOUSE LEAGUE This is a semi-competitive league where players are grouped according to level of play. Players then play each member of their group in a standard best of five game match each Wednesday. Results are tallied with group winners graduating to the next level for the following cycle. A spares list is available to contact if you are unable to commit to play every week.
VANCOUVER SQUASH LEAGUE This is a competitive league and players must be Squash BC members. Teams of five players are assembled to take on Clubs across greater Vancouver. Men play on Mondays, women on Tuesdays. Matches alternate home and away with home teams responsible for entertaining visitors with a light dinner and beverages. All levels of play are welcome to try out.
ARBUTUS SQUASH CHALLENGE PYRAMID The pyramid will be located on the wall at the north end of the squash lobby. The goal is to try and get your name as close to the top of the pyramid as possible. You move higher by challenging and beating anyone one spot to your left or one row above. If you win your best of 5 challenge match, you take the position of the losing player and move everyone down 1 position until your original spot is filled. There will be a Men’s and a Women’s pyramid and you can join the one you feel comfortable with. Contact Drew Henderson at dhenderson@arbutusclub.com to have a tag made with your name and phone number to be added to the pyramid.

tennis UNIVERSAL TENNIS RATING PROGRAM (UTR) A common question when registering for programs is: “What level of play do I sign myself or my children up for?” To help guide you through this process, The Arbutus Club Tennis Department uses the Universal Tennis Rating Program for determining skill levels.
ADULT LEVEL DEFINITIONS BEGINNER: UTR 1.0-2.5 This player is in the initial phase of development. Clinics and drills will be structured with the primary focus being understanding ball control, grips, footwork patterns and recovery with sound fundamentals and consistency being the outcome. Players will also begin to understand court positions, basic tactics and tennis scoring. INTERMEDIATE: UTR 2.5-4.5 This player has strong fundamentals and can maintain a consistent rally from all parts of the court. Clinics and drills will be structured with a focus on power and spin. Player’s footwork, stroke conformity and on court movement will be challenged with consistency combined with power and spin being the intended outcome. Intermediate players currently compete in leagues, tournaments and social matches. ADVANCED: UTR 4.5-8.0 This player is consistent when hitting medium paced shots, can serve to target, has sound footwork patterns and court movement. Clinics and drills will be structured to improve performance on demand, increase or reduce point pace, change ball direction at high tempo whilst maintaining quality strokes. Advanced players will often be seen playing high tempo matches at local tournaments, competing in our strongest league teams or refining their patterns of play in practice matches.
JUNIOR PROGRAMS The objective of the Arbutus Club Junior Program is to help players develop their skills to play tennis socially with family and friends, as well as for those who aspire for more competitive play to help them develop the skills to do so. We hope to inspire players to develop healthy lifelong habits, and to develop a love for the sport of tennis. Specifically, each program will address the following: ⊲
Athletic motor skills including ABC’s (agility, balance, coordination)
⊲
3 stroke families (groundstrokes, volleys, serve/ overheads)
⊲
Playing etiquette and rules
⊲
Lifelong values and habits
⊲
Modified racquet, balls, court size when needed

For inquiries or questions about Volleyball programs, please contact Megan Gallant, at mgallant@arbutusclub.com or 604 269 8909
Volleyball Head Coach brian@smashvolleyball.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.
