Welcome to the Ottawa Ospreys Minor/Youth Rugby Program, where the youngest athletes in the Ottawa Ospreys family discover the joys of rugby. Our program is tailored for children aged 4 to 11 years, participating in various age grades: U6, U8, U10, and U12. We’re dedicated to fostering a love for the sport in a fun, safe, and inclusive environment.
Flag Rugby (U6, U8, U10): For our U6, U8, and U10 age groups, the focus is on flag rugby, a non-contact version of the game that emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Through engaging drills and games, our young players learn the fundamentals of rugby while enjoying every moment on the field.
Introduction to Contact (U12): As players progress to U12, we introduce contact rugby in a manner that prioritizes safety and learning. Our experienced coaches ensure that the introduction to contact is gradual, controlled, and always conducted with the utmost care for each player’s well-being.
Festivals and Fun: The highlight of our program is participation in Eastern Ontario minor festivals, where our teams showcase their skills and spirit. These festivals are not just about competition; they’re celebrations of community, camaraderie, and the pure joy of playing rugby.
