Rugby is a game for everyone - and everyone is game to get back into rugby!
Whether it’s your first time or you’re making your triumphant return, rugby is a game for you. There are lots of ways to get involved, whether it’s playing Tartan Touch to 15-a-side, test out your whistle as a referee or a coach, or volunteer in a variety of roles – it’s Everyone’s Game. Your local club or referee society would love to welcome you.

Canva is a graphic design platform, used to create social media graphics, videos, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content. The app includes templates for users to use, which can be personalised and changed to suit your needs.

Coming out is an ongoing process for people in the LGBTIQ+ community. LGBTIQ+ is an umbrella term used for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Questioning people. There are many ways that they can share their identity.
LGBTIQ+ young people already exist in rugby, although some young people may not feel comfortable to be open about their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Scottish Rugby has worked in partnership with LEAP Sports Scotland to provide some ways you can support LGBTIQ+ people when they come out to you or to those that have not taken that step yet.
Show us how you get involved in rugby and what is going on in your club or society by using the hashtag #EveryonesGame on social media, tag us @Scotlandteam. Got something to share with us? Email [email protected] with the details.
