Gearing Up For A Youth Rugby Competition In Town

By April Briggs


Whoever says that rugby is an easy game has either not played it themselves or is completely underestimating the sport. Its not easy for the primary reason that it is very physical. Unlike board games like chess or some endurance games like track and field and swimming, rugby is more like a combination of anything.

For viewers, the game looked difficult because of how its played. After all, grappling and pushing are accepted. Its fine to get hurt. And when you do, we dont call it a foul. Pain is a common factor, something which has to be endured by the players if they want to continue. Raleigh youth rugby is among those events that are most awaited by the people in the city because of the fun that it gives.

If you are interested to take part in the sport yourself, you may. But this does not just come easily. Deciding to play is very different from actually getting hands on with the game. Even if you are very familiar with how it is played and the technicalities involved in it, you will still need to prepare. Here are some of things that you should do from your end as a preparation.

Mindset. You cannot start with anything unless you have the right mindset about it. You have to be very clear on why you are doing it in the first place. What is your reason. Are you mentally prepared to handle the pressure. Remember that this is not an individual game. You will be playing with a team. Make sure you have an open mind to deal with the adjustments that you may have to make.

Physical fitness. With the right mind comes the next step which is to beef up your physical condition. If you are already practicing some sort of regular exercise routine, then you will just have to make some revisions to strengthen areas of your body. If you are totally new to this however, you will have to start from scratch and may need the assistance of some athletes to devise an effective training routine.

Get to know the game better. If you think knowing the basic rules and regulations is enough to bring you to the win, then you are wrong. Apart from the information that you can find in books, there is also a need to learn about winning strategies, best practices, common faults incurred by players and the like. Be sure you know more than what you do now.

Risks. Considering the fact that this is very physical, its only right to expect of injuries as a big possibility. The recovery of this will be dependent on the nature of it. Be sure you know enough of the risks and are ready to take it. Unless you come to a resolution on this matter, it will be hard for you to start.

Assess your own strengths and weaknesses. You might not have thought about this before. But the things that you are good and bad at can generally affect how you perform. By knowing your strengths, you can work on improving it more to cover up for your weakness.

You cannot just decide to play without preparing. Make sure you prepare enough. Start evaluating your readiness now.
