Come one come all! No matter what shape or size, fitness level or technical ability, there is a space in the game for you. It's a myth that every Rugby player needs to be 17 stone and built like the proverbial tank, every position requires a different skill set and means that there is almost certainly one for you. Rugby is a game of equal opportunities and caters to quite literally everyone in society. Wheelchair Rugby, for example, was a big hit at the 2012 Paralympics, while veteran's, women's, and even beach Rugby are all on the rise. Whether you're playing down at the park in a friendly game with your mates or taking part in an organised fixture, there are a number of ways to get involved with the game. It just depends how seriously YOU want to pursue it. Start off for the fun of the sport, and if you like it take it further, who knows where you will end up.
The Rugby Football Union is the national governing body for grassroots and elite rugby in England, with 2,000 autonomous rugby clubs in its membership.
