Rugby is a game that is played in over 120 countries
throughout the world. Many of the values of Rugby come
from its rich history, traditions, camaraderie and community
involvement with the sport.
Through non-contact versions of the game, children as
young as six can greatly enjoy rugby. These games are
played at both junior clubs and schools. (See question
below FLAG RUGBY)
Senior club rugby, offers players an opportunity to
experience the camaraderie of the game. Women's rugby is
also popular at clubs and schools. Rugby is played both as a
15-a-side game, and is also very popular as seven-a-side.
Ten-a-side rugby is also played.
While many players continue playing the game well into their
adult years, others often choose to experience the benefits
offered in rugby by coaching or refereeing their local schools
or club side.
Object of the Game
The object of the game is that two teams of fifteen players
each, should score as many points as possible, by carrying,
passing, kicking and grounding the ball with the team scoring
the greater number of points being the winner of the match. It
is classified as an 'end zone invasion game'. The aim of each
team is to gain possession of the ball, take it into opposition
territory and to place it in the in-goal area (end zone). Rugby
is a game of continuous flow, there is constant competition for
the ball at the breakdown. These are called Rucks and Mauls.

What if I - or my child - have never played rugby before?
Rugby requires specific skills just like any other sport. In fact, some of our best rugby players started playing other sports first and then converted to rugby. Skills
learnt in any other sports will help you learn the basic rugby skills and allow you to quickly adapt to the new game. For the child aged 5 to 12 years, there is a rugby
pathway that allows them to be gradually introduced to the game of rugby.
Are there programs that teach the skills of Rugby to young kids?
Yes. THE 300 RUGBY ACADEMY is a rugby sports skills program that teaches 8-21 year old girls and boys the basic skills of the game in a safe and welcoming
atmosphere. It is conducted by professional instructors, and it is basically a year round program dived in winter/fall and spring/summer camps
When should my child start playing rugby?
Your child can begin playing rugby after the age of 8 years through our SUMMER CAMP. Many players also start rugby at an older age.
I thought you had to be big to play rugby?
No. Rugby requires many varied body shapes and sizes to play the game. From shorter, strong front rowers to tall far reaching second rowers and the fast, nimble
outside backs. There is a crucial position for everyone in rugby. Rugby is, however, a contact sport. It is therefore critical that correct tackling techniques are
coached and learnt, so that all shapes and sizes coming into contact with each other can tackle in a safe and correct manner.
What gear does my child need before they play the game?
Mouth guards and football boots are the major requirements. Additional padding includes shoulder pads, head gear and shin pads which are optional and offer
limited protection in contact situations.
