Challenge Rugby
Rugby is well known for its ability to affect lives of youth for the better. So, in communities where there is a lack of facilities and adult guidance to whom youth can turn, building rugby teams offers an unrivaled opportunity to bring youth together, with qualified adults, to build character and improve their physical and mental well-being.The Belize Rugby Football Union wishes to engage with youth in such circumstances, using a programme based on the five core values of rugby (Respect, Passion, Integrity, Teamwork and Discipline), to build teams and organize community-based competitions.The ultimate objective is to encourage the youth to join a local district rugby club, perhaps even the youth national rugby team, and go compete in the Olympics. Essentially, we want to help youth, through sport, to become well balanced, disciplined, reliable individuals ready to help build their communities in which they live.
