The History of Rugby Rugby can be traced as far back as Roman times and the modern

version can be traced back to the mid 19th century. A Rugby schoolwas founded in Warwickshire around 1957. This school was knownfor playing a different type of soccer that allowed ball handling. In1871 the English Rugby Union was formed and the union remained

an amateur association and around 1995 it allowed forprofessionals. Rugby was introduced into the Olympics in 1900,

1908, 1920, 1924 and the USA won gold in 1920 and 1924.According to http://www.scrrs.org/History%20of%20Rugby.htm,

The first international game in North America was on May 5, 1874between Harvard University and Montreals McGill University atCambridge, Mass also being the 1st Rugby game played in the

United States.

Objective of the Game

According to http://artofmanliness.com/2009/03/10/rugby-basics/,

The objective of the game is to score goals. There are several

ways to score goals. One is known as a try and it is done by

touching down the ball inside the other teams end zone. Any player

may carry the ball and try to score. A try is worth five points, after a

conversion kick is awarded, allowing for the chance to score two

additional points if successful. The second is a drop goal. This

occurs when a player kicks the ball through the opposing teams

uprights during play, and it is worth 3 points. In order for the drop

goal to count, the ball must make contact with the ground beforebeing kicked. A penalty kick can also be granted for certain

penalties, allowing for a free kick from the site of the infraction. The

penalty kick is also worth 3 points.

Rules, Regulations, & Skills There are two teams in Rugby and 13-15 players are on each side. Both teams try to score as

many points as possible by carrying, kicking, passing, and grounding an oval shaped ball. There

are several different terms associated with Rugby and the following website explains them

thoroughly. According to

http://www.ask.com/bar?q=rules+for+rugby&page=1&qsrc=2106&dm=all&ab=4&title=Rugby+rule

s+and+regulations&u=http%3A%2F%2Faustralia.jrn.msu.edu%2F2003%2FAUsports%2FRugbyrules.html&sg=JL7CCkFVcm%2Fu16gUx3mGkru7F46Akya4nQI%2B2VuTpP4%3D&tsp=1257098

581195, A Try is scored when a player grounds the ball in his opponents in-goal. After scoring a

try, a player from that team will attempt a conversion. A Conversion is a kick from a spot on the

field that is in-line with where the try was just scored. A Goal is scored from either a conversion

after a try or from the spot where the referee has awarded a penalty. A Field Goal can be scored

at any time during general play by drop-kicking the ball over the cross-bar. The team that has

scored the most number of points at the end of play is the winner. Time: The game is played over

two 40 minute halves. Basic Premises: Players are divided into backs and forwards. There areeight forwards whose job is to gain possession of the ball and get it to the backs. The Backs will

develop a running play and work together to score tries (goals). The backs are more mobile, but

the positions are very interchangeable. The game of Rugby football includes strength, discipline,

technique and passion. There are not many differences in Rugby League and Rugby Union.

Facilities and Equipmentused in Rugby

The game is played on field known as a pitch. A pitch is longer and wider than a

football field. The size is usually 100 meters long and 70 meters wide. The end zones

are 10 to 22 meters and these are behind the goal posts.

have laces and they are made in different sizes. Like any other sport the balls come

in adult and youth sizes. The ball is shaped similar to a football. It is oval in shaper

but it is rounder and its not as pointed on the ends.
