Bathurst Junior Rugby Club
REGISTRATION 2021
Welcome to the 2021 Rugby season with BJRU! On behalf of the committee, I would like to extend a warm welcome to new players and their families and to all those returning to us for another year of fun, fitness and rugby. Hopfully this year we can see a return to almost normal playing conditions. We are truly a family orientated club and encourage parents and siblings to join us in the club house on Friday evenings for drinks and nibbles during training. Gala days are always wonderful affairs with families socialising and enjoying each other’s company in the beautiful Central West of NSW. Information regarding training, Gala days and the season at large can be found by clicking HERE.
This year will again be two zones for gala days, there maybe a few long travel days so we can play different teams but most of the time we will be close to home.
Our club levy for the 2021 season will be $100 for U6s and $150 for U8s , U10s and U12s. this includes Rugby Australia, CWJRU and NSW Rugby levies. BJRU committee has decided to reduce the fees to encourage players. In the 2020 season the coast to play was about $220 for under 8-12 this year the cost is $150. The Cost includes Training tops and a Rugby ball, it DOESN’T included sock and shorts, these will be available to buy if you need new ones.
Parents will need to provide boots, mouth guard and head gear. All coaches, team managers and committee members will also need to register with the Rugby Australia through the portal as this covers insurances. There is no cost for these important jobs in our club.
Again this year, many parents will choose to use the NSW Govt Active Kids Rebate for their 2021 fees. Please note the Rugby Australia has mandated that ALL registrations must be online this year and will charge you approximately 1.9% processing fee per transaction. RA's online portal also allows the use of the voucher for our club's registration.
The Active Kids Rebate Program is an initiative introduced by the NSW Government Office of Sport where parents are able to claim up to $100 per school child, per calendar year, as a voucher to reduce the cost of registration or membership fees for after-school, weekend and structured fitness or physical activities. Players are eligible and able to access their $100 voucher from the 1st of January 2021. You will only need to pay the difference or 'gap ' between the $100 voucher and the club's membership levy should you choose to use it for rugby registration.
This year we have to come and try rugby day on the 17Th of Feb and 24th of Feb, come down and talk to a committee member or a coach.
This year was are excited to have two under U12s sides, training will commence on Wednesday 3rd of March 5.30pm.
We look forward to seeing you all back at Anne Ashwood Park for another great year with the Junior Bulldogs!

BJRU President, 2021
