Teams have been decided for the coveted 2023 Regional Age-Grade Club Finals, determining the U14 Mainland and Island Champions and the U16 and U18 Teams heading to the 2023 Age-Grade Club Crossover Finals.
Its been a busy Fall Season for BC’s Age-Grade Club Teams, filled with action-packed matches, skill development, new friendships, and life-long memories. As the season winds down, Teams have now been decided for the Regional Age-Grade Club Finals taking place in ten locations across the Island and Mainland this weekend. The Regional Finals will decide the Regional Champions for BC Rugby’s U14, U16 and U8 Boys and Girls Divisions, with the U16 and U18 Champions advancing to the 2023 Age-Grade Club Crossover Finals Event at UBC Thunderbird Stadium on Sunday, December 3. More information on the crossover event can be found here.
As part of BC Rugby’s long-term athlete development pathway, teams from U14 Boys and U14 Girls Divisions contest Regional finals only. This is following the decision to adjust the Age-Grade Bandings for the 2022/23 season and beyond to align with the 2023 Rugby Canada Age-Grade Law Variations and the current BC Bears pathway.
