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.
Our current Age-Bandings can be found here.
Mini - Ages 5-12
Our young athletes play a variation of rugby called Rookie Rugby. Rookie Rugby is a fun, safe version of the sport allowing players to learn the Laws of the Game without any bumps or bruises.
Based on the current Age-Grade Law Variations, players between the ages of 5-10 will play non-contact. Players aged 10-12 can begin the transition to tackle (contact Rugby) based on comfort level.
Age Grade - Ages 13-18
Many of Canada’s best players were already in high school when they picked up a Rugby ball for the first time. Whether you want to play socially, become an Olympian, or somewhere in the middle, the sport of Rugby offers a world of opportunity.
Programming offered at Age-Grade level includes XVs, 7s and Summer Touch,
Senior - Ages 19+
Whether you are new to BC or new to the sport, we want to get you onto the field. In BC, you will have the opportunity to participate in full contact competitive leagues and non-contact social Rugby, operated by individual Clubs.
Masters - Ages 35+
Masters Rugby Programs are offered at numerous Member Clubs throughout British Columbia. Masters Rugby is traditionally played by people over 35 years old.
