Houston Rugby Academy |
Purpose The growth of rugby in South Texas has led to a demand for quality rugby education. In an attempt to meet this need and stay abreast of the most current rugby training, skills, conditioning, and coaching techniques, the Houston Stormers Rugby Academy has been established. The purpose of the HSRA is to provide courses specifically designed to identify, develop, and progress promising elite rugby players and coaches. The Academy is a development program geared primarily to ensuring that a player's capacities and abilities are maximized. It will also serve as the main selection and training vehicle for the Southern Counties select-side. The HSRA will service the Greater Houston metroplex (Harris, Montgomery , Fort Bend , Galveston , and Brazoria Counties ) and consist of two main components: Elite Player Development Group and Academy Development Group. Both groups will consist of twenty five players whom will be instructed by area high school and college coaches. The appointment to the academy is twelve months in duration and players will be required to attend a one-day session each month. The Academy's goal is to identify and promote young players for selection on the Houston Area Select-Side, the Texas Rugby Union U-19 Select-Side, the U.S. Eagles U-19 team, and to provide a cadre of young elite athletes who can return to their home clubs and help improve the standard of rugby by disseminating the training they received during their attendance at the academy.

A Spectators Guide to Rugby |
| A Spectators Guide to Rugby For anyone reasonably familiar with American football, rugby should be an easy game to understand. The purpose of the game of rugby is to carry a blown up pigskin over a goal line, or kick it over a goal post with more consistency than one's opposition. Unlike American football, the laws of rugby are few and simple. Rugby action does not stop until someone scores, the ball goes out of bounds, or a rule is broken. Rugby teams don't huddle to prepare strategy since no platoons for offense, defense, and special teams exist. A good rugby team or side, as it is called will respond instantly to a number of defensive and offensive situations, each member of the team moving independently within his role, but collectively for total effect. |
