Bayside History

Founded in 1988 through the merger of Tsawwassen RFC, located on the north shore of the bay, and Semiahmoo Old Boys RFC, situated on the south shore, Bayside Rugby Football Club was born out of a shared passion for the game. This merger brought together two clubs with similar philosophies, and their union was met with optimism and excitement. Today, Bayside is proud to call South Surrey Athletic Park home, where we enjoy a prominent presence in the community.

Over the past 25 years, the club has seen steady growth and has earned numerous successes at both senior and junior levels, including several championship victories. With two international-sized rugby pitches and a state-of-the-art clubhouse completed in March 2023, Bayside boasts some of the finest playing facilities in British Columbia, ensuring our continued success for years to come.

Bayside fields two Senior Men’s teams, one Women’s Division 1 team, and a robust Mini and Junior program, offering rugby opportunities for boys and girls from U6 to U19.

As a club, we take immense pride in the development of our players and the strong rugby culture we've built over the years. Our mission is simple: to provide an environment where players of all ages can experience the joy of rugby in the true spirit of competition. It’s no accident that Bayside has earned a reputation as a breeding ground for emerging talent, with many of our players excelling at provincial and national levels. We look forward to continuing this proud tradition into the future, shaping the next generation of rugby stars.

Bayside Rugby Club collaborates closely with its partner organizations to foster a unified approach to developing a stronger rugby community. By working with local schools, sponsors, and rugby unions, the club ensures access to resources, expertise, and opportunities for players of all levels. This partnership allows for improved training facilities, coaching programs, and event coordination, creating a more holistic environment that supports player development both on and off the field. Through this collective effort, Bayside Rugby Club and its partners elevate the quality of the sport, promoting a better experience for athletes and fans alike.
