STRONG HISTORY AND TRADITION
The BC Bears Men’s 7s Team has a strong history of competing in tournaments and championships both in BC and North America, and we aim to continue this tradition under new Head Coach Robin MacDowell.
“BC Rugby is excited to have this opportunity for our players to develop their High-Performance experience and put themselves forward for National 7s team selections through representing BC against some international level teams. This calibre of this level of competition is vital for bridging the gap for players looking to represent Canada in the future.” BC Rugby Technical Director John Tait
“British Columbia has a long tradition of excellence producing hundreds of national team athletes, and the opportunity to rebuild this program to keep that legacy growing strong is a key motivator. “ BC Bears Men’s 7s Head Coach Robin MacDowell
