Rugby is a rough sport, but rugby has no more risk than any other sport and safety is a primary concern! Please read this article "Is Rugby Safe for Youth" by Dr. Lyle Micheli. Dr. Lyle Micheli is director of the Division of Sports Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital and an Associate Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Harvard Medical School. He is a past president of the American College of Sports Medicine and currently serves as chairman of the Massachusetts Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
