Ophir RFC encourages girls to give rugby a go
Ophir RFC is inviting girls aged 8–14 to try rugby in a fun and welcoming new programme.
The initiative aims to introduce young players to rugby in a fun, supportive, and inclusive environment, with a strong focus on building confidence, developing friendships, and learning new skills. Whether participants are completely new to the sport or simply looking to try something different, all abilities are welcome.


Sessions will be led by IRFU-qualified coaches, ensuring a safe and structured experience where every player is encouraged to grow at their own pace while enjoying the game.
The programme gets underway on Wednesday, May 6, running from 7:00pm to 8:00pm at the University of Ulster, Jordanstown. The cost is £10 per player, which also includes a complimentary programme T-shirt.
Ophir RFC hopes the initiative will help grow the girls’ game within the local community and inspire the next generation of players to get involved in rugby.
Places are now open, and early registration is encouraged.
