Ex professional rugby player SA, England & France
Just before the onset of the pandemic, I initiated contact with Bayside, considering a potential relocation to join them as a player-coach. However, due to the circumstances brought about by Covid-19, my role shifted solely to coaching. The entire Bayside community has been incredibly supportive in welcoming my family, ensuring our transition was seamless. They arranged accommodation for our quarantine period, furnished our new home through generous donations, and immediately assisted me in securing a job and a vehicle upon my release from quarantine.
New players are embraced with open arms and treated like long-time members of the club, seamlessly blending into the Bayside family the moment they don the team shirt. Bayside boasts an exceptionally devoted fan base and is nestled in the charming town of White Rock, considered one of the best in Canada. White Rock offers a picturesque setting akin to a holiday village, with top-notch restaurants and pubs, just a 5-minute drive from the US border and a mere 45-minute commute from Downtown Vancouver.
