Easiest way to start is just to show up on bi-weekly practices.
Few times a year we do organize beginner courses and “get to know rugby” -days. All of our practices are beginner friendly. It usually takes few practices to get to know the team and the game itself, after that it is up to you if you want to keep training with us.
How tough Rugby is?
Rugby is a full contact sport and physicality of the game is commonly compared to Ice Hockey. Due to the lack of safety pads, bruises are quite common but big injuries are as common as in any other team sport.
Am i big/fast/tough enough to play?
Short answer:
Yes you are.
Long answer:
Rugby team consists of 15 players and each of them has a certain role in the field. If you have a bit extra weight, you are built to play positions from 1 to 8. If you have smaller stature, positions 9 to 15 is your thing. Every size and shape is needed.
