The same goes, if you have no disability or barrier. Games are played in true rugby spirit.
Why does mixed ability work so well in rugby? Well, rugby has always been the sport of all sorts – all shapes and sizes, and all abilities. So, there is a spot for the strong, slow, small and fast players on the same team and all are valued for what they can do.
Mixed Ability rugby just takes the same format as any other rugby team in a club. If you feel you don’t have enough experience, might not be good enough, are new to the game or just want to get back to playing for a bit of regular training and team bonding then a Mixed Ability team is for you.
To truly experience rugby, Mixed Ability must play the same format as any other rugby team. The only law change is uncontested scrums which you often see in social or veteran matches too.
If you want to see rugby played for rugby’s sake, then we would encourage you to go look at a game of Mixed Ability rugby in your area and see what it’s all about. Even better, grab a pair of boots and experience it for yourself on the pitch! Anyone ages 16 and over are welcome to join in our Mixed Ability Rugby teams.
