Online Registration Info for Coaches, Parents and Students

Port Moody has entered an agreement along with many schools in District 43 with a company called Karelo.com to facilitate online registration and payment of fees for Athletic teams. This system is aimed at streamlining the process for parents to pay fees and give consent for their children to play school sports. The procedure outlined in this document must be completed in order for a student to play Junior Varsity or Varsity sports at Port Moody Secondary.

All payments of fees include the base level cost of each specific sport. Base costs are those fees used to pay for league structures and administration costs, officials, entry to some tournaments, some transportation where deemed necessary by the coach, and for equipment and uniform upkeep. These fees do not cover 100% of the costs associated with athletics at Port Moody, as such, the school often uses a portion of its yearly budget to make up these short falls. Coaches may offer additional items such as t-shirts or trips that are optional for students to pay for seperately. If, in any event, it is not possible to complete the payment procedure with a credit card, it is still necessary to complete the online registration. Parents should contact the Athletic Director at the numbers or email above to discuss alternatives to credit card payment.

Thank you for helping us make this transition to a more efficient system!
