Thanks to Label One
Ballymena RFC Mini Section wish to say a big "Thank You," to Label One of Belfast for their major sponsorship towards the cost of the Turbotops. Without their help, this would not have been possible. Label One can be found in Duncrue Industrial Estate, Belfast and is one of Ireland's premier label suppliers. Click on the logo for more details.

Training Times

Safety
We insist that all children wear a mouth guard for training and games. We would also recommend scrum caps for head protection. The IRFU have called for a ban on boots with metal blades due to injuries sustained. Parents are asked to ensure that children have the proper boots.

Fixtures
The fixture list for the 2009/10 season is now updated.

Coaching
All our coaches are volunteers and we are always on the look out for coaches/helpers on a Sat morning……no previous experience is required. If you are interested in helping, please speak to your child’s coach on a Saturday morning. The coaches follow the IRFU code of ethics and have completed all relevant police checks.

Catering
At the end of training the children are given juice and crisps and after a match, hot dogs are provided. This requires volunteers to distribute. Each age group are taking this in turn throughout the season. If you would be available for one Sat morning between 10:30 – 11:30 please contact your child’s coach.
