Never played rugby before? No problem! In fact, most collegiate rugby players have never even seen the game before college. Come out to practice with us- we'll teach you the game. The CofC RFC is composed primarily of former high school wrestlers, football players and soccer players, with several starters having two years or less experience.

Here is what you need to play rugby:

• Rugby boots, football, or soccer cleats
• A mouth guard
• Rugby shorts
• A desire to learn the game
• A willingness to get some exercise
• A goal to have fun

Here is what you DON'T need to play rugby:

• Any previous rugby experience or knowledge of the game
• A specific height
• A specific weight
• A specific intelligence level

Rugby players come in all shapes, sizes, and IQs!

For some good background information on the sport of rugby, you can check out Rugby Rules & Equipment from the BBC, and watch this video.
