Mini Rugby is Back! Ophir RFC Welcoming New Players for 2025 Season

Ophir Rugby Club is excited to announce that its hugely popular Minis section will be back in action from Saturday 6th September at 9:30am, based at UUJ Jordanstown.

Open to boys and girls from P1 to P7, Ophir Minis offers children a fun and friendly introduction to rugby at one of Newtownabbey’s most welcoming family clubs.

With fully qualified coaches, the sessions focus on building fitness, confidence, and coordination, while teaching teamwork, respect, and discipline – all in a safe and supportive environment. Children not only learn new skills but also make new friends and feel part of a fantastic community club.
