Welcome to the Pack—Time to Scrum It Up!
Ready to trade sidelines for scrums? Welcome to the wild, wonderful world of rugby—a sport where teamwork, grit, and a good sense of humor are the name of the game! Whether you’re here to tackle, sprint, or just figure out what the heck a "ruck" is, we’re thrilled to have you.
No experience? No problem! Rugby is all about learning, growing, and occasionally laughing at yourself (we’ve all been there). You’ll pick up the rules, make new friends, and maybe even discover a love for muddy fields and post-game celebrations. So lace up, dive in, and get ready to unleash your inner rugby star—you’re going to crush it!
