Why did you start rugby union?
If you love being active and want to get fit with your teammates, this game is perfect for you.
Who is it for?
It is one of the most universally enjoyed sports and there are many different versions of the game to try.
Are there any cheaper options?
You can also play touch rugby in the park with friends and family, but joining a club doesn’t cost you anything.
What if I want to get a proper workout?
From scrums to tackling to sprinting with the ball, this is a high-intensity workout that will improve both your strength and muscle tone.
Can you level up even further?
Work your way up, start with the clubs and then look to your local area and from there people will start taking notice of you.
Are there options for people with disabilities?
Wheelchair rugby was a huge hit at the 2012 Paralympics and now there’s the chance to experience it all across the UK.
Are there any options for families?
Most clubs cater for the whole family, with kids’ teams and men’s and women’s teams for moms and dads.
