Sports: Rugball. And No That's Not Sexual

Posted November 12, 2007 9:06 AM

We've covered football, we've covered soccer, we've even covered rugby, but what we haven't covered is Rugball. A combination of all three, somehow, this really is a sport for guys. It involves a grassy area to play, a soccer ball, two big garbage cans, and a group of guys who don't mind getting tackled/tripped/kicked/thrown/etc. If people are competitive then things could start getting a little violent, but what kind of game would it be without that extra bit of adrenaline making things crazy.

That craziness might be due in part to its rules. There are only three rules to Rugball,
1) No Moving the trash cans
2) No kicking or punching anyone in their private areas.
3) No biting
which means there are basically no rules. The game itself is structured so that there are two teams, each with six people, that are attempting to score ten points to win. Points are given for throwing the ball into the trash cans, but the ball must hit the bottom to be counted for a point. Guys can go about scoring any way they see fit whether it's pushing to get there, jumping over guys, or throwing in some jukes. The only problem with the jukes is that there aren't any rules to say you can't grab on to people and drag them around, which means you might be losing a shirt or two to tears and holes. There are no pads or gear either, so come game time just bring yourself and be ready to rumble.
