About
If you are that type of person who as participated in organized sports for most of your life then rugby is a great sport for you to get involved in. Unfortunately, unless you have college-level or pro-level talent, there aren’t many organized sporting options once you get out of high school. We want to offer you a chance to continue your involvement in organized athletics. We offer union rugby, the fastest-growing amateur sport in the world. More important, rugby is a CONTACT sport. Rugby combines most of the skills you learned while playing American football, basketball, wrestling and/or soccer. It is the total sport.
No experience is necessary. Our coaches and experienced players will teach you the game. We have three seasons – a spring and a fall 15s regular season as well as a Summer 7s season. We practice twice a week during those times and take the winter break off to let the ground thaw. In 15s, the teams are composed of 15 players each and the game is 80 minutes long, with a five-minute halftime. Summer 7s runs during the summer and involves seven people per team playing seven-minute halves. The field is the same for both games. In the summertime there are several 7’s tournaments that we participate in to keep our fitness levels up – but participation and practices during the summer months is voluntary.
The RAF Ramstein Rogues Rugby Football Club was founded in 1988. We play in the German Rhinland-Pfalz Rugby Union, which includes teams from all over the state. The RAF Rogues RFC has won several state titles over the years. Recent successes include a 2000-2001 undefeated regular season, and three RP tourney cup victories in the last 5 years. We practice at 6 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays on the field behind the 24hr shoppette on Pulaski Barracks.
