@emzable8 Believe me I play for 2 teams, and I've seen young women and girls who weigh maybe 100 pounds playing on the field and despite their size they get shit done. like you said you just have to give it all you got and you will succeed.
I;m 15 and I want to play rugby, but there are no seattle rugby teams. I'm very dissapointed. I've been hoping for a girls rugby team for the past 3 years. :(
You should be able to promote rugby at school! I am the only girl in my area playing rugby, and I joined the men, although I'm not very tall and not very heavy. Go for rugby. Make it something that is special to you!
From a South African... I'm proud that the game of rugby is being introduced for girls as well, especially in America. America has a great potential for the sport and with the correct facillities could become world title contenders at both men and women competitions.
Congrats!! It´s a very nice video, however, I missed more shots of actual women´s games... but it was excellent! It has a feministic perspective and everything produced about women´s rugby is great for all women!!

As an Englishman I am expected to value football (soccer) above all other sports, but as I enjoy (American) football as much as (the-rest-of-the-world) football, rugby really is the ideal sport.
It encourages a balance of athleticism, skill, pace, stamina, strength and tactics like no other sport and - though it may not be popular yet - the growth of US teams is a great way to popularise it.
very well said however in football you also need athleticism, skill (dif positions), pace, stamina, strengh, tactics, concentration. Many defense and offense schemes to learn in American football.
Excellent video. In England we think we have it tough when we move the 10 & 11 year old girls on to playing in girls teams. Seems like the States have it even tougher. Women's Rugby is the fastest team sport in England and we're hosting the 2010 Womens Rugby World Cup - it's all about the legacy. Well done USA.
I think thats great what they are doing and it is true. Rugby is the greatest sport in the world. However..I didnt see any rugby in that video, all I saw was sevens.
and even and 15 a side womens rugby i have watched (and that has been international level) has been impressive, but still not really rugby.
MARIST made it to Florida (on their own) Congratulations Girls we are very proud of you - With love from all of us at home who couldn't be there to cheer you on.
rugby is a great and dinamic,fun sport to play,good luck with developing it,hehe we in Croati here have also a little bit of problem because its not very popular,as football(soccer),handball and basketball
well good luck with it and best wishes from Croatia and Rugby Club Nada Split :))
i also got choked up watching this because the college i graduated from (marist college), their current women's rugby team is 16th in the nation and has an opportunity at nationals in florida, but marist wont fund for them to go. if it were a male team, i feel the story would be a lot different
Same thing happend to my team this season. We were going to Florida for a match and it got cancelled because of funding. The mens team has gotten to go to California twice this season, and are going to New Mexico soon.
heck yea rugby!!!!!!!!

Our school's guy rugby team's coach wont let the girls have a team because our practice might interfere with his.
So we made a club, but we're no allowed to promote it at school. :/

You should really take this up with the school board. I'm almost positive that's not legal! Title IX allows equal coverage under the law!!!
