Rugby Roots
Our Mission
Rugby Roots empowers youth through rugby, cultivating essential life skills and fostering community engagement.
Rugby Roots is an Erasmus+ Sport project that harnesses the power of rugby to instill vital life skills in teenagers, promoting personal and social growth through teamwork and shared values.
By focusing on ten core values, Rugby Roots offers structured learning experiences that engage young people in sports, encouraging them to build character, develop self-discipline, and foster unity within their communities.
What is RR-CLUE?
RR-CLUE (Rugby Roots: Cultivating Life Skills and Unity in Youth) is an Erasmus+ Sport project designed to help teenagers develop personal, social, and emotional skills through rugby. The project addresses the challenge of keeping young people engaged in sports, while promoting values such as respect, teamwork, solidarity, and commitment. By combining sport and education, RR-CLUE provides coaches and clubs with innovative tools to support youth development.
Why Rugby?
