BLRC provides it's players with first class instruction and leadership from top level coaches. The Club also has a conditioning consultant that runs fitness sessions every practice, a staff of trainers who attend games and practices, and a club doctor.

Andy Fell has been a fixture at Burnaby Lake for over ten years. He joined BLRC after a career in the British Army. Whether through long service in Northern Ireland, or just English disposition, Andy has a low tolerance for shenanigans. Thankfully, his excellent technical knowledge lets him coach players to "sort out" line-outs and scrums as well. Long time BLRC player and coach, Joe comes from a teaching background, and is well suited by disposition and training to teach rugby to the clubs developing players. Walt has coached the Burnaby Lake Women's team for back to back Premier Championship's. Walt most recently helped coach BC in the NWL, where a first place finish was earned by his ladies. Originally from Ajax Ontario, Ian has travelled across Canada and abroad with our sport. After a knee injury cut short his time with the Ajax Wanderers, he began his refereeing career. In his 20 years as a high level ref, Ian has been fortunate enough to preside over BC Premier Finals, Rugby Canada National Championships, and was an assistant ref in a Canada vs. England Women’s match. He has been coaching with our women’s team at Burnaby Lake since 2008. A true “Rugby Guy” in every sense of the word, when not on our sidelines, he can be seen coaching the U19 Vancouver Wave girl’s rep team at the Pacific Regional Championships (Silver medal in 2009 and to Gold in 2010), and at Burnaby North Secondary School, where he has been the head coach since 2009. Every BLRC team is assigned a qualified sports medical trainer, each of whom the Club equips with supplies for taping, sports massage and injury treatment. Trainers monitor players health and rehabilitation from injury, are available for taping and sports massage before practices and games, and provide immediate medical attention when required during games. Our head trainer is Dr. Crysta Serne, a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic and principal at the Vitality Wellness Clinic. BLRC is fortunate to have Dr. Don Hedges, a physician with a sport medicine practice, on hand at most home games. Dr. Hedges also graciously provides priority appointments to Club players who need to see him during the week. BLRC is also very lucky to have Dr. Selena Chow, who practises Family Dentistry, available to provide dental services to players on a priority basis. Selena attends many of the Club's games and can be reached immediately at 604 809 4384.
