Safety First!

Hong Kong Rugby is A Game for All! 

The Hong Kong Rugby Football Union offers rugby opportunities for every age and skill level with an emphasis on safety first and foremost!

Whilst everyone associated with Hong Kong Rugby wants the players to have fun, we do stress the need for safety in play and in equipment.

All youth players should wear mouthguards to protect the teeth and, whilst optional, the use of headgear and shoulder pads is recommended. All of these are easily available in Sports Shops or through the Clubs.

The coaching of youth rugby also involves safety through well trained play. Teams at various age grades will adopt specal rules as they progress in age and ability towards virtually full adult rules for their matches, but coaches and referees are empowered to change some areas of play (e.g. non-contest scrums) if they consider any danger of injury exists.

At all times, players are coached to a suitable standard for safe and enjoyable competition.
