Men's Rugby

Is a combination of skills used in both football and soccer.  The players gain ground by either running with the ball or by kicking it, passing of the ball forward is not allowed.  Scoring is acheived by either a try or a goal.  A try (at goal) involves grounding the ball, that is, touching the ball to the ground over the goal line at the opponent's end of the field.  Three different types of kicks at goal can score points:  the goal kick after a try has been awarded (which if successful becomes a conversion), the drop kick, and the penalty kick.  If you are interested in participating in men's rugby the contacts are listed.
