Rugby is a physical and safe contact sport where player welfare is the most important thing. Whether you are a newbie, a veteran, a serious athlete or want to play for fun, there is a form of Rugby for you in British Columbia. Use this section to learn how to register and play Rugby in BC:
BC RUGBY REGISTRATION
To play Rugby in Canada, you need to be registered. Registration is important – if you are not registered, you don’t have insurance.
Once you are a registered Member, you become insured and covered under Rugby Canada’s Insurance Policy for the season. This includes Sports Liability Insurance, Sport Accident Insurance, Provincial Excess Medical Coverage, and Travel Coverage while on sanctioned Tours.
To access insurance, every individual must register for Membership with a Club. Insurance is valid starting from August 1 of a new season and is activated from the Member’s date of purchase and expires on August 31 of the following year. As a Member, if you have multiple roles with your club (player, Coach, manager, etc.), you must be registered in all these categories to be insured for those activities.
BC Rugby Membership is available to any resident of BC. Through Membership, we continue to grow, develop, and manage Rugby by offering programs for all ages and skill levels (recreational to High-Performance), educational opportunities and access to exclusive benefits and services.
You can register as a New Member or Returning Member – follow the relevant steps below:
WHAT RUGBY IS RIGHT FOR ME?
BC Rugby wants to ensure you play in the right environment, so we break the sport down into groups by age. Once you know the grouping you are looking for, you can search for a local club or venue in your area that provides that level of Rugby.
For 2023/34 Age-Grade Rugby, the Age-Grade bandings are U14, U16 and U18 across all Boys and Girls Programs and Divisions.
