Rugby is a game played worldwide, a team sport that delivers significant social and health benefits. The activity helps to grow self-confidence, team skills, communication skills, and self-discipline.

•Rugby is a sport for all body types. There are positions on the team for everyone. You don’t need to be tall or thin to compete. You don’t necessarily need to be dexterous. What you need is a good attitude and a willingness to be part of a team. Even if you are overweight, rugby has a position for you. And the sport will help a person become fit – both physically and mentally.
•Rugby is a sport with an honorable code of ethics. In rugby, there is no dramatizing, no playacting, no showboating. It’s about respect for your own team and the other team you are competing against.
•Rugby is a confidence booster, for kids and adults alike. Even the most unlikely individual, who hasn’t had a history of sport engagement, will find their place with rugby. Because the sport is not as well-known as others in the U.S., there is no stigma attached. The adult or child does not feel like they have to live up to any sort of standards. Most are in the same boat. Learning a new sport and getting fit.
•Rugby is great for communication skills. There is constant calling and talking on the pitch. And unlike many other sports, the coach is not in charge once play begins. Once the game starts, it’s up to the players to put in place what they have learned, to work together for a common goal, and to get there, they need to talk to each other, support each other, call out to each other.
•Rugby is a great social network, especially for children who want to be a part of something but don’t feel like they belong. Rugby is not attached to any school. The club supports a large area of northern Michigan and will bring together children, and adults, from all over. In every sense of the word, your rugby team will become your second family.
•Rugby is about effort and resilience. It’s not an easy sport to play, but it’s worth the while for the satisfaction a player feels afterward.
•Rugby is the fastest growing sport in America for both men AND women. Women find rugby liberating in the type of play and expectations of female athletes. Rugby requires no less from any competitor.
