Athlete Selection Process
Once the Coaching Staff has been selected for each Zone, the Zone Rep and Coaches will work on promoting the BC Summer Games opportunities to eligible athletes in each zone. Tryouts will be organized between September 2025 and April 30, 2026, with final team selections made by May 31, 2026.
More information will be posted on this page once the athlete promotion and tryout organization begins to take shape this fall.
Zones at the Games
To ensure that the BC Summer Games include participants from every part of the Province, as well as to support each Provincial Sport Organization's efforts to spread their activities and interest throughout the Province, the Province has been divided into eight Zones for participation in the Games.
