    Looking for: Learn Rugby in Hong Kong

    Hello!!

    I am lloking for any club that accepts expat members. I have to say i enver played before, so i just want to train and learn a bit about the sport. I´ve found some summer courses, unfortunatetly the deadline is already finished. I am 26 by the way, and yes, need to get in shape, thats why i am looking for some sport (and socialize a little bit too )

    Some ideas?

    Thanks!!!

    You should try and play 'Touch Rugby' first, this will give you the basics of passing etc. and will also get you fit.

    Ok!

    But. even for the touch rugby, i can only find groups for childrens, is there any team that accepts newbies?? I mean, only for practising.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi there Spanishman, for sure there are loads of clubs! My club would be very happy to take you on board - you will learn as you go. We had a few guys last season who had never played and they did fine. Touch rugby is also good but it's just a summer sport and it derives from rugby leauge, which while related, is a different sport - however it's a good place to start in terms of running, passing etc.

    The rugby season in Hong Kong traditionally runs from October to March each year, however we have already commenced pre-season training mainly focused on fitness which should suit you! We will have a few warm up games probably in mid to late August. Happy to meet with you for a beer to discuss and/or field any questions you have.
