Playing Rugby at SLIIT

Rugby at SLIIT welcomes all — from total beginners to seasoned players. Students can represent the university in 15s, 12s, and 7s formats, benefiting from expert coaching, structured training, and team spirit. Many team members hail from top rugby schools, yet passion, not prior experience, is the only requirement.
