REGISTRATION INFORMATION
-
Bingos
Parents/Guardians are required to work 1 bingo per registered junior player. You can sign up in advance HERE.
All Bingo proceeds go directly to paying team registrations and field rentals, which drastically helps to keep our operating costs down. When you work a bingo, you earn 1000 Ruck Bucks ($50 cash value)! These can be redeemed at The Clan to reduce registration costs by $50.00, up to a total of $100.00 off per registration.How it works
You have to volunteer before you register to be able to use Ruck Bucks towards registration. If you have Ruck Bucks from last season, you can use them for 2026 registration fees. If you volunteer after registration, then you can save your Ruck Bucks for next season, or use them to purchase food and drinks at the clubhouse, or to buy kit (training tops, shorts, socks, mouthguards) or swag (sweaters, hats, pullovers).How to earn Ruck Bucks
To earn additional Ruck Bucks you can sign up for club volunteer positions and/or work multiple bingos.20 Ruck Bucks = $1.00 cash value
Club Volunteer positions: We need every kind of volunteer at the club from coaches to our Friday hotdog crew to Wednesday night cashiers to our fundraising committee! Email our junior director to get a volunteer spot for our 2026 season: jrrugby@clanrugby.com

The Respect in Sport Program has been mandated by Rugby Alberta.
One parent/guardian must complete this online session and enter the certificate number into the SportLoMo registration system when registering a player under the age of 18. Without the certificate number, a player cannot be registered for any youth rugby programs or teams.
It takes approximately one hour to complete the program and does not have to be done in one sitting.
The cost is $12 plus applicable taxes, and is valid for four years. You can use an existing Respect In Sport certification number you have received through another sport, or from a previous year, if it is still valid.
Click here for frequently asked questions and program access instructions.
