How do temporary, 12-week and off-season memberships work?
Rule- Canada
- Rugby Canada
- Club rugby
- All ages
- 2026
- Players
- Concussion policy
- Sanctioning
- 72-hour and 2-week memberships: limited to one per person. You must upgrade for any competition after the window.
- 12-week membership: non-contact only, tied to one program and location. Holders cannot take part in interclub activity such as festivals, exhibitions or regular-season games. It covers only the program you signed up for. Fully registered members can join a 12-week program at their current club; members of another club must register for it there.
- Upgrading from a temporary to a full membership gets a discount on Rugby Canada and provincial fees where applicable. Club fees are never discounted.
- Off-season memberships (2026): Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and PEI from January 1 to April 30, 2026. BC from April 15 to August 15, 2026.
- Social memberships have no exposure to the National Insurance Program.
