For 2023 PRCs, we ask that each player is registered with the relevant regional union. This will ensure that every participant has the necessary insurance, as well as allowing for the game management system within Sportlomo to be utilized.

Players Not Registered

If a player is not yet registered with BC Rugby, they can register here through their respective regional union.

Players Registered with BC Rugby – No Club Affiliation

If a player is registered with BC Rugby – No Club Affiliation, they must transfer to their regional union. Players can use this resource to help with player transfers.

Players Registered with a Member Club

Players who are affiliated with a Member Club must request a dual membership with their  regional union. Please follow the steps below:

Regional Unions: How to Set Up Membership Types in Sportlomo

Regional unions can follow the below instructions on how to set up Membership Types in Sportlomo:

For both Transfers and Dual Membership requests

Once the Member has been approved, they will have to go back into their Sportlomo account and complete their registration with their regional union.

Please make sure to register with the same account and Membership type – this will allow for your Rugby Canada and BC Rugby Membership to be applied to your regional union and avoid paying for insurance for a second time.

For all Player Exemption requests, please fill out this form and email it to Aimee Burley at aburley@bcrugby.com with “BC Rugby Player Exemption Request” in the subject line. 

*Play down exemptions will only be considered for teams lacking enough players to meet squad size and therefore not prohibiting the selection of another regional player in that age-band. Players given exemptions to play down cannot be considered for Provincial Team selection, as no over-age players are permitted to play for BC at National and Regional competitions. 

The 2023 PRCs act as the critical final stage of the selection process for the 2023 BC Bears Age-Grade XVs teams.

In line with the BC Rugby Selection Policy, we aim to provide several opportunities for players, as individuals and as part of a team, to demonstrate their ability and character. For all Age-Grades, the PRCs conclude the provincial teams’ selection process.

BC Bears Representative Teams Coaching Staff will attend the 2023 PRCs and will be finalizing their selections for squads to attend upcoming development camps, as the next step in the selection process.
