Getting Involed in Rugby
What's Rugby?
Rugby is a high-energy, sport that blends the strategy of football, the endurance of soccer, and the fast pace of basketball. It is played in two primary formats:
Rugby 7s – A high-speed, Olympic-style version with seven players per team and shorter games.
Rugby 15s – A traditional, structured format with fifteen players per team.
No pads, no helmets—just grit, skill, and teamwork!
