Senior Dues
All players are required to pay dues to cover the costs of operating the rugby club. Dues cover a large portion of the Club’s operating expenses. The chart below shows what these expenses are:
Dues are set as follows:
Senior Player Dues $425
Student Rate Senior Player Dues $325
Social Member Dues $175
To put Senior Player Dues in perspective, consider that the season runs around 30 weeks. That’s $14 a week for two professionally coached training sessions and a refereed game. Try finding a health club boot camp for that price.
Payments can be made by credit card through the online registration system, or by cash or cheque to the club Treasurer. Payment plans are available for those who are unable to pay in full immediately; please contact the club Treasurer to make arrangements.
Players are not eligible for selection to teams until they have paid their dues or made acceptable arrangements for payment in the future.
For players who wish to reduce their dues, the Club is offering a partial rebate on dues for those who participate in the Youth coaching program. Click here for more details on the program. The Club also has a refereeing program, by which players can earn $30 per game for refereeing.

Refund Policy
The Club’s policy for refunds of dues is as follows:
1. Any costs associated with National, Provincial or Sub-Union dues or insurance are non-refundable.
2. The remainder of paid dues may be refunded to players who suffer season ending injuries that are documented by the medical opinion of a physician licensed to practice medicine in the province of British Columbia. Such refunds will be issued on a pro-rated basis according to the number of full games remaining in the regular league season at the time the injury occurred as against the total number of league games in the season. Application for a refund of dues on the ground of season ending injury must be made in writing and delivered to the Treasurer of the Burnaby Lake Rugby Union Football Club.
3. No refunds will be issued for voluntary withdrawal after the player has participated in a league game.
4. No refunds will be issued for games missed due to non-season ending injuries.
5. No refunds will be issued for games not played due to cancellation.
