Returning Members
If you participated in the previous season as a player, coach, official, or volunteer, log in to your SportLomo account to renew your Membership for the new season. If you are unsure whether you have an account, contact the BC Rugby Office to avoid duplicate profiles in the system. To find out when registration opens for the new season, contact your Club or the BC Rugby Office.
Management who work directly with players are required to complete the Rugby Ready course in addition to being registered BC Rugby Members. This applies to coaches, trainers, medical staff and managers.
Board members and volunteers (in defined roles) have no individual registration dues. Board and Officer Insurance is done as an annual fee to the clubs (this will be waived if the club provides proof of its own Director and Officer’s insurance).
INSURANCE PROGRAMS
Once you are a registered member of BC Rugby, you become insured and covered under Rugby Canada’s National Insurance Program for the season.
Rugby is a sport that prides itself on the Teamwork, Discipline, Respect, and Sportsmanship developed through a committed dedication to our game. We play hard on the pitch, and we look after each other on, and off the pitch. Thankfully serious injuries are very rare within Canadian Rugby, and although we constantly monitor and evolve the laws of our game to protect our players, we accept there are risks of injury in the course of playing and training for Rugby.
World Rugby, our global governing body, through Regulation 23 requires that every member Union has effective player insurance in place. Rugby Canada’s National Insurance Program builds off this requirement to ensure effective coverage is in place to protect ALL our members, including players, coaches, match officials, managers, medical staff, and volunteers.
As with any insurance program, the terms of coverage are precise, so it’s important to make sure conditions, and exceptional situations that require additional approvals, are understood.

MEMBER FAQ
Use the dropdown menu below for information on Refund Requests, Transfers and Upgrades:
Refund Requests
To request a refund for your registration fees, log in to your SportLomo account to initiate the request.
Automatic Refunds: If the refund is requested within 14 days of your registration date and you have not participated in any Rugby activity (game or practice), the member qualifies for an automatic refund and the money will go back directly to the credit card used to purchase the Membership.
Manual Refunds: If the refund is requested after 14 days of your registration date and you have not participated in any Rugby activity (game or practice), the refund will be manually processed by Rugby Canada, BC Rugby and the Club separately and make separate payments to the Member.
Transfer
If you are moving between Clubs, you must get a transfer release from your old Club. Log in to your SportLomo account to initiate the transfer request. The transfer process can take several days for approval between Clubs and Provincial Unions so please allow at least 5-7 days’ notice of transfer to ensure you are properly registered with your new club.
Upgrade
If you are already a registered Member and you wish to add another role to your Membership (i.e. official, coach, etc.), log in to your SportLomo account and you can upgrade your Membership to include multiple roles without having to create a new account.
