NTFC Spring programs will begin the week of April 12-17. A cap on group sizes, staggered training group start times and additional measures to reduce risk of COVID-19 transmission have been put in place in accordance to BC Athletics, ViaSport and Public Health Orders.
All programs are currently full and there is a waitlist. We regret that we cannot accept any more athletes at this time. Please stay tuned to changes as we navigate these challenging times.
