Hi!
I played rugby for 4 years, miss it like crazy. I no longer play due to an injury but would love to coach, either part-time, or even as a volunteer. Any suggestions on how to get the ball rolling on that would be amazing. Currently living in Ottawa and have a vehicle. Thanks!
Hi Victoria, What area of the city do you live in? We don’t check these messages as often. Best to contact us on Facebook. Happy to help you find a club to coach with.
Good morning,
I am writing here because I am going to be in Ottawa next week end. As you may know it, there is the French rugby union final at 2pm on sunday 4th of June. I searched the internet and came across this website.
As most people here are involved in rugby, by chance would you know a bar or pub in Ottawa which is likely to broadcast the game?
Michael
Hi i have a question concerning age.how old do you have to play on these teams.As well what club would be best for my area i live in the bells corners area.Thanks.

Hello, my names Damon Griggs and I am a 27 year old loose forward rugger from South Florida, I currently play for the Palm Beach Panthers out of West Palm Beach and also for the Turks and Caicos Islands National team and am moving up to Potsdam, NY in a month. I will be up there for at least 2 years and searched up and down for rugby clubs close to the area and the closest is in Buffalo some 3 1/2 hours away. I have been to Ottawa on a few occasions and it is a lot closer then Buffalo so I figured I’d contact some teams around there to see what my best bet is. I was wondering what club would be the closest for me from Potsdam, NY? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi guys, I’m thokoza also known as TK, I’m from South Africa looking to play very competitive rugby. I have played through high school and have represented two provinces down here in S.A. In the Currie Cup competition. I am 21 year old male. I also looking to persue a career in this game. Any suggestions?? Please help. Really needthis.
Hi mate, the two clubs you should get in contact with if you want to play the highest level possible here, is the ottawa indians or the ottawa irish both teams will be playing in the top division here next season. Don`t know if your currently in the country but unless you are here for three years it is very difficult to crack pro rugby as the best rugby here is only for canadian residents or citizens. I know as I`m here on a short term visa and have been here twice ivè played in the highest level here i possibly can but fom there there is no where to go if you want to be professional.
hope i have helped,
Can you recommend a club to contact given the following.. I am male, 44 years old, have never played RU, and live in Morgan’s Grant (Kanata North)…
Cheers!
ottawa indians train in kanata.
Is there any way to post a map of which clubs train where in the City? I live in Wellington Village and am wondering which of the clubs train closest to me.
I live out in rockland. I get the feeling there isn`t much out this way. Do you know which club would be the closest?
There are many people from Rockland who play for the Ottawa Irish Rugby Club.

Hi there,
Im 19 turning 20 in a few months. And I have a massive love for rugby. I live about 5 minute away from the corner of Montreal road and St.laurent. So I guess more east. Any teams close by?
I hope to hear back soon!
Cheers!
Daniel,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Beacuse you live in the east end the logical club for you to contact would be the Ottawa Irish. They are east end based and train at Col By High School.
Two other possible options are the Bytown Blues or the Ottawa Beavers. Both the Blues and Beavers are more a little more downtown.
Feel free to contact the clubs directly and see which one fits you better.
