Rugby team in Detroit?

Question

I am 28 years old and in pretty good shape and would like to get into the sport of Rugby does any one know of a club in the area where I could learn the sport and play?

Answer 1

You can find out where any rugby team is by visiting th usa rugby site (www.usarugby.org) or tyoing in detroit rugby in any search engine.

Answer 2

I play on the Detroit team and this week we will hae practice on Wednesday (June 6) at 6:30pm at Farwell Field (8 Mile and Ryan, behind the armory).  Right now it is off season so we are just playing touch, but next week we will resume our regular practices on Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30pm, same place.  Our next match will be at Windsor on June 30 and should be lots of fun.  This all assumes you are male, I'm not terribly certain of the women's schedule

Answer 3

Your best bet for playing the sport in Detroit is with the Detroit Tradesmen.  Just look at their website.  There is no comparison when you look at what the two teams in Detroit have done over the years.

Answer 4

Since this question is not specific enough, I'll offer the flip-side.  Detroit also does have a women's team, it's on the website.  They used to be a powerhouse but in recently have slipped off their pedestal.

Answer 5

Here's the website for the Detroit Rugby Football club:
