Every registration is split three ways before a single ball is kicked. Here is exactly how the 2026 fees divide — and what the club's share has to carry once the season starts.
When you register a player you are paying three bodies at once. Two of the three amounts are set elsewhere and passed straight through by the club. The third is the only part Barrie Rugby Club ever sees.
The national registration every rugby player in Canada pays, regardless of which club they join. Barrie collects it and remits it — none of it stays here.
The provincial registration that sanctions our teams to play in Ontario competition. Also collected and remitted in full — none of it stays here either.
The club's share. This is the money that actually puts a coached, insured, officiated, medically covered team on Jim Hamilton Field every week of the season — and kit on every player.
Read each bar left to right: Rugby Canada first, then Rugby Ontario, then the club's share. The club's portion is the largest part of every fee on this page — and the only part that comes back into Barrie rugby.

Registering a player is where the cost starts, not where it ends. Almost everything that makes a match happen is paid for out of club proceeds — not by the province, and not by the national body.
Qualified medical coverage on the sideline is not optional in contact rugby, and it is not funded from above. The cost of having an athletic therapist at our matches comes directly out of club proceeds.
Every sanctioned match needs an accredited referee, and officials are paid and travelled for. Those costs sit with the club, on every home fixture, at every age grade.
Almost all of the cost of running competition — including hosting branch qualifiers — falls to the clubs involved. When Barrie hosts, Barrie pays for it.
Every registered player gets club kit as part of the fee — new, every season, at no extra charge.
A full kit, included in the registration fee.
Issued new every year, to every registered player.
Fees for the minis and youth program were effectively held — up $1 on the year. From U14 up, registration rose $50. That increase did not go to the province — provincial fees actually came down — it went to the rising cost of putting teams on the field, and to kit that now goes home with every registered player.
In other words: every dollar of the 2026 increase, and then some, went to club-side costs — therapy coverage, officials, competition, the day-to-day cost of a season, and club kit for every registered player. None of it went to head office.
Barrie Rugby Club has been in this community since 1967, and the price of playing here has always been set with one thing in mind: a family should be able to say yes.
That choice has a consequence. Registration is priced to keep rugby reachable, not to recover what a season actually costs. Sideline medical coverage, match officials, competition hosting, equipment, kit and field time all move with the market; the fee does not move with them. The difference between what registration brings in and what a full season costs is real, and it has to be closed somewhere.
It gets closed three ways.
Local businesses who put their name behind the club and cover costs a registration fee was never going to reach.
Club events and campaigns through the season, aimed squarely at the gap between fees collected and a season delivered.
The coaches, referees, managers, canteen crew and board members who are not paid for any of it — the largest unbilled cost of all.
That is what fundraising is actually for. It is not an extra on top of a fee that already covers everything. It is the part of the budget registration was never going to reach — and it is the reason the number on the registration form is as low as it is.
