A few of the lads in my school rugby team have been saying I should join the team next season. I'm 15, at least 6ft 3" and weigh around 15 stone so I'm a well built lad. But I've never really played rugby before so don't know many of the rules. Also I'm quite shy so I'm hoping joining the team would help me break out of my shell. So basically should I join the team? And secondly if I do is there anyway that I could get good at it over the summer? Obviously I'm not expecting to become the best player in the world but I want to be good enough to hold down a starting place in the team if I do join. Thanks :-)A few of the lads in my school rugby team have been saying I should join the team next season. I'm 15, at least 6ft 3" and weigh around 15 stone so I'm a well built lad.

yeh, go for it. it'll help you make friends and it'll make the year fly by. over the summer, i would suggest going to the gym to get stronger and maybe joining an athletics team to get you faster. you could also buy a rugby ball and practice your ball handling skills like catching and passing with a friend
