Rugby (an English form of American football) is a game that may not look like it has a lot of equipment requirements, but there are a few essentials needed to get into the game. Here is a listing of the essential rugby equipment needed to start playing!

1) Proper Clothing: While there is no protective gear allowed at all, a rugby player still needs to be dressed properly. Starting at the top, a modest helmet or fabric head covering is allowed and is worn by most. This will protect the player from minor head injuries. Second, a jersey is the typical shirt covering for most players. If a jersey isn’t available, any breathable shirt made of nylon, cotton or polyester is acceptable. Next there are the shorts. Rugby shorts are fall right above the knee, and must not have any hard materials (buckles, zippers, etc) that could injure another player. Much like the shirt, the shorts should be a breathable material. To finish the proper rugby outfit there are the shoes. Rugby players must wear cleats or rugby boots as many refer to them. They should have spikes or studs on the bottom and should lace up properly. These are essential to protect the player from foot injury.

2) Rugby Ball: A rugby ball should be in the shape of an oval and have four separate panels. It is very similar looking to an American football. It can’t be more than 300 mm long, and it must weigh approximately 420 grams.

3) Field Equipment: A rugby field is set up with two goals on either side, in-between the large field. A proper rugby field should have goal posts, flag markers, and distinctive marking lines to indicate the meters and goal areas.

4) Medical Kit: Rugby is an intense game, and a good match can result in a large number of injuries. Have a good first aid kit available for players to use when the game is over.

While not a lot is needed to play, it is still a great game full of excitement, sportsmanship and physical activity. So pick up the equipment necessities and try out a game today!
