What is Rugby?
History.
Originating at Rugby School in England in the early 1800s, this fast-paced, full-contact sport is played by millions worldwide. It has really begun gaining traction in the United States within the last few decades, more specifically since its reintroduction to the Olympics in 2016.
Rules.
Any rugby player will tell you that the best way to truly learn is to start playing! But here are some basics:
1) You can only pass backward.
2) You can run or kick forward.
3) You can score a try, or kick.
4) Everyone plays offense and defense.
Starting.
Rugby is becoming more and more prevalent in the US, and it is never too late to learn! You do not need any prior experience as we will teach you everything you need to know when you come out to practice.
Roots.
Founded in fall of 2021, we are a D3 Women’s Rugby team in the True South Rugby Union. We are closely associated with the men’s team, The Birmingham Vulcans (est 1967).
Opponents.
We play against other Southeastern teams throughout Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana and Florida. Matches and tournaments are mostly on Saturdays throughout the year.
