Q: I don't know anything about
rugby...can I still play?
A: YES. We understand that rugby is not as
popular a sport in this area, and therefore not many people know how to
play. We are happy to teach anyone who is willing to learn.
Q: Can I get a scholarship
to UGA by playing rugby?
A: Unfortunately, NO. Unlike football or
basketball, varsity sports in which athletes are given scholarships,
Rugby is only a club sport at the University of Georgia, so we receive
very little funding from the school. We have to do fundraising just
to pay for our team expenses.
Q: I don't think I'm big enough
to play rugby. Will I be any good?
A: Rugby is not a game where size is the most important
factor. More important than size is fitness and knowledge of the
game. Rugby is a sport such that a smaller, fit player who knows where
to be and when to be there is much more helpful than a larger, slower player
who may know where to be, but can't get there in time. Not to say
that size doesn't help, but it's not the most important factor.
