1.4 Club Player Registration Payment Plan
The Club offers the opportunity for Senior and Junior players or parents of Junior players under 18 years of age to pay the Club dues in three installments.
1.4.1. All requests to pay the Club dues in installments must be made, via email, by the player or parent/ guardian, if a player is under 18 years of age, to the Director of Registration and VP Finance. Once approved, a registration discount code will be provided to the player or parent/ guardian, if the player is under 18 years of age, which will permit the player to be registered online with Rugby Canada and pay only the Rugby Canada insurance and Rugby Ontario portion of the dues. The Club portion of the dues will be waived when using the discount code. This payment will be considered the first installment.
1.4.2. The Club portion of the dues must be made directly to the Club by e-transfer.
- Installment #2 due by: 31st May 2024
- Installment #3 due by: 28 Jun, 2024
Payment Method:
If paying by cheque: the player or parent of player under 18 years of age must send two post dated cheques (dated no later than the installment dates above) to the Club within 2 weeks of receipt of the discount code. See Club Contacts section 6.
If paying by e-transfer: the payments must be sent to the VP Finance by the Installment dates, noted above. See Club Contacts section 6.
1.4.3. Under no circumstances may a Team Coach or Team Manager approve the use of a discount code or confirm with a player or parent/guardian that any portion of the Club dues be waived. This decision is strictly reserved to the Club Executive Board.
- Late Registrations
2.1. Any player who registers after 2 July, 2024 may be entitled to a 25% discount in the Club portion of the Club dues. There will be no discount of the Rugby Canada and Rugby Ontario insurance fees.

A refund of the Club portion of the registration dues will be based on Sections 3.2 to 3.4. A refund of the Rugby Canada and Rugby Ontario dues will be based on the Rugby Canada and Rugby Ontario Refund Policy.
3.2 If a player has not trained and played with the Club, prior to the request for a refund, a refund of 100% of the Club portion of the dues will be provided.

Any refund provided would be made at the end of the summer season.
How to Request a Refund
