I'm in high school, and I have the chance to play for a rugby team in the spring, I've never really been into sports before, but a few guys have recommended it to me, and it looks like it could be fun. I'm not very tall, but I have a thick chest and broad shoulders, I also have pretty strong legs. I'm not very athletic, never have been, and running fast, or anything requiring kicking has never been my strong point. I would'nt say I'm currently in good shape but I'm willing to work hard to get in shape. So my question is, would it be a good idea to play rugby?I'm in high school, and I have the chance to play for a rugby team in the spring, I've never really been into sports before, but a few guys have recommended it to me, and it looks like it could be fun.

Playing rugby is not only a cool sport but it gets you into shape, so go for it!

Rugby is so fun and exhilarating, and if you have a lot of raw aggression, it would be extremely helpful on the field. Get your cleats and play! You may come to enjoy it a lot!

Definitely! You sound like you could make a good prop. You'd be using your legs a lot and your build sounds perfect for it. This sport is amazing and I've seen people come in for their first year and totally just kick butt in high school. Go for it!
