Am I too old to start playing rugby and be good at it?

Posted at: 2014-07-08 
I'm 16, I'm about 6'0 6'1, I weigh around 60kg which is 136lbs or 9stone 10lbs. I didn't really like rugby but I recently went to an international match and it was the best thing ever I loved it and really wanted to get involved only I don't know if I'm too far gone and wouldn't pick the game up as easy as other, which position I would play and I don't really know any rugby clubs in my area I know there are a few but where they are I'm not sure of.I'm 16, I'm about 6'0 6'1, I weigh around 60kg which is 136lbs or 9stone 10lbs.

You can start at any age. Go to a club and tell them you want to start playing. Clubs always want new players. You'll start out in their lowest side. If you're good you'll progress.

I was 52 when I began... so no you are not too old

no your not to old I didn't start playing rugby until I was 18 and I am great at it all it comes down to is practice practice

TBH, I started to play at your age (which is last year, haha) and I've grown to love it so much (obsessed, maybe). Sure, playing at an earlier age would be better, but for me, it's going on just fine. If you have the heart to play, nothing else matters.
