Rugby is a game renowned the world over for its ability to inspire courage and quick decision making among players, while teaching that success is often achieved by putting the team above one's self. Not only do the clubs promote fitness and athleticism through play, they are also student run organizations that require self governance and promote leadership. Rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes and many at Loyola University Chicago have found a home in the game’s unique athletic and social tradition.
