Rugby is a game that develops leadership, team spirit, courage,
sportsmanship, and friendship.
Garrett Soileau started playing rugby his freshman year. Like most
individuals who start playing rugby, he quickly fell in love and learned
to play the game well. He was selected for Texas High Performance
teams every year and his senior year he played for the Rocky Mountain
Challenge All-Tournament Team and USA Rugby Stars and Stripes,
reserved for the top 50 Boys and top 50 Girls selected from Regional
All Star Tournaments.
In response to the question of what he loves most about rugby, Garrett
explains, "The fact that everyone has the chance to prove themselves.
In rugby everyone has the chance to take the ball in for the score and
feel what it’s like to put points on the board for your team. Forwards
have to be able to pass just as good as backs and backs have to be able
to go blow up a ruck if needed. You basically have to be able to play any
position which isn't like any other sport out there.
"To me rugby means opportunity. This sport has given me so many
opportunities that I would have never gotten if it weren't for rugby.
Because of rugby I've had the privilege to represent my state and even
represent my country. I've made friends with people all over the United
States and even overseas because of all the opportunities rugby has
presented me with."
Garrett is perfect example of everyone getting a chance to prove
themselves in rugby. He most recently was invited to the U20 Junior
Men's All American World Trophy team. He also plays for Arkansas
State University Rugby Team.
Come check out the fastest growing sport in the nation with the largest
rugby club in Texas!
Woodlands Youth Rugby will hold tryouts each Wednesday in
November from 6-8 pm at Alden Bridge Sports Park. Players from all
area schools are welcome.
