UM Rugby FAQ's __________________________________________
What is Rugby?
Rugby is the full contact sport that will challenge you mentally and physically. The sport originated in England and has since spread everywhere, now being the second most popular sport in the world behind soccer. Rugby rules are simple-- you can advance the ball forward by running or kicking, but can only pass the ball backwards. Other perks of the game include full contact hitting without the use of pads. If you are looking for a sport that will make you more physically fit, more mentally quick, and a lot more tough, this is the sport for you.
