In fact, rugby is truly a “Life Sport” because, unlike many American sports, legions of players continue to participate in the Rugby game long after they leave school. Players continue playing competitive rugby for years and years by joining local men’s or woman’s adult clubs. Senior Clubs even have Masters teams composed of players over 35 years of age.
