In highschool i had no problem with this! i did cross country, french club, key club, lacrosse, best buddies, and i had friends everywhere i went! i LOVED it! and i wanted college to be the same way! So right off the bat i got involved! i volunteered at the Blood Drive, i went to all the activities, i even got involved with "Week Of Welcome". (Week Of Welcome is held on the first week back to school. There are all kinds of activities going on to help people get involved and excited about school!) On of the things that i did was to help set up for "Day On the Quad". On Wednesday all of the clubs set up tables on the quad and advertise trying to get people to sign up! there were tons of clubs and i signed up for a couple... it was a great way to see what USU has to offer!
Now one of the booths was the rugby team... What is rugby?
Rugby is a form of football which originated in England in the early 19TH century. It is more similar to football than to soccer, although players in rugby are allowed to kick the ball at any time during the game and not only for penalty or goal kicks.
The team is made up of either 13 or 15 players. A game last eighty minutes, split in half by a break of ten minutes.
The object of the game is that two opposing teams 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, in a way, similar to football with players passing the ball to each other and running with it until a point can be scored the difference is forward passes are not allowed.
Rugby is a full-contact sport payed without padded uniforms or head protection, but mouthguards are mandatory. Which means players are more prone to accidents and injuries than in other similar sports. Although there are strict rules as to what can be done physically when blocking toter payers, injures still happen.
That is rugby and that is the sport that i am playing :)
