Club Registration

Club Registration and Sanction Form

Club Registration Procedure

• All Clubs must be registered with the CSF and with their provincial snowboard association in order to stage CSF sanctioned activities, enter athletes into CSF or FIS sanctioned activities, or otherwise participate in the affairs of the CSF and its provincial snowboard associations.

• An application for Club registration must be submitted to your provincial snowboard association. The PSA will then forward this to the CSF.

• Participants in Club activities must be members of their CSF provincial snowboard association.

• In registering as a member club of the Canadian Snowboard Federation, the Club undertakes to abide by the provisions of, and conduct its affairs in accordance with, the current Statutes, By-Laws, and General Rules and Regulations of the Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS), the Canadian Snowboard Federation, and the Club’s provincial snowboard association, insofar as the same are applicable.

• All Club activities must be formally sanctioned by the CSF. Applications for CSF sanctions are submitted using the CSF Activity Sanction Application Form, which is available from your provincial snowboard association, or from the CSF website.

• All CSF sanctioned activities are covered by the CSF’s commercial general liability insurance. Activities which have not been sanctioned by the CSF are not covered by this important insurance. More information on activity sanctioning is provided in the document “Information Bulletin - Activity Sanctioning”, available on the CSF website.

• All CSF Clubs are required to pay an annual CSF membership fee. This fee must be received by the CSF with your Club Registration Form. Note that your provincial snowboard association may also have a club membership fee.

• All non-profit CSF Clubs must purchase the Club Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance available through the CSF. The purpose of Directors’ and Officers’ (D&O) insurance is to provide coverage for a special area of risk that is not included in commercial general liability insurance policies. This is risk specifically related to the actions of persons in the roles of Directors and Officers of an organization, including such potential problem areas as:
  • Misuse of funds.
  • Breach of contracts.
  • Mis-statements to government agencies.
  • Incorrect disclosure of documents.
  • Breach of duties to association members.
  • Wrongful dismissal of an employee.
    
     
• In order for your training to be covered under the Liability Insurance Program, all out of country training and activity must be approved.  All groups training outside of Canada must fill in an Out of Country Sanction Request Form.  Also, any athlete traveling outside of Canada must have proof of appropriate out of country accident coverage that includes repatriation and helicopter evacuation, Out of Country CAIP insurance is available for members on the CSF website.
