-Why should I play rugby, instead of some other sport?
Because rugby isn't just a sport, it's a life-style change. You don't only learn how to play one of the best and most addicting games in the world, but you form friendships and connections that last a lifetime. Rugby is a universal way to connect with anyone, even people you have never met before.
-How is rugby played?
Two teams of fifteen players compete on the pitch(the field) for the most points. This will include scrums, rucks, mauls, passes, tackles, drills, kicks, and trys. If you are confused already, don't worry, you aren't the only one. An easy explanation is here in The Rookie Primer.
-Is it true you don't wear pads, like in football?
Yes, but in the training to play rugby you will learn how to tackle and be tackled so that the injuries are minimal and the game can be played safely.

In addition to coming to practices regularly, you can lift weights, go running, or try the Workout Plan to get in shape.
