NSRV Obelix is the student rugby association of beautiful Nijmegen. Obelix has been playing in green and yellow since 1970, making it one of the oldest sports clubs in Nijmegen! The association primarily offers the sport of rugby, but there is also a lot to do socially. We have active members in committees, organize monthly (theme) drinks, go on an annual tour abroad, participate in (international) tournaments and many other activities! The traditional ‘third half’, singing rugby songs together with the opponent while enjoying a beer, is rarely lost by Obelixers. In addition, each team has its own habits and rituals that bind us to each other, the club and rugby culture. All this makes Obelix a relatively small but close-knit association where you will make friends for life. You don’t become Obelix for a while, you stay.

Student rugby
Are you tall, short, big, small, green, yellow, or something else entirely? Then we want you! On the rugby field, all kinds of qualities come in handy. In rugby, teamwork and blind trust in your teammates are crucial. At NSRV Obelix, we have one men’s team in the 2025/2026 season, competing in the third division. This team is a mix of players from different backgrounds and levels: from seasoned veterans to enthusiastic rookies, and everything in between. New members without rugby experience are carefully prepared during training sessions, friendly matches, and even on Sundays along the sideline, so they are ready to make their first minutes in competition. Everyone is warmly welcome in this team, which is a friendly and close-knit group both on and off the field. In addition, we also have a women’s team, playing in the second division, clustered together with other women’s teams from the region.
Both men and women train on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and play their matches on Sundays. For beginners we organize the “Young Dogs course” twice a year. In 7 weeks you get to learn the basics of the game of rugby and get to know the rugby culture of our club.
Can’t wait? All interested are cordially invited to train with us on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 20.00 on Field 3 of the Radboud Sports Center.
Are you looking for a new sport and mates for life? Come play rugby! We look forward to seeing you soon at NSRV Obelix for a beer.
