Rugby at Sechenov University: Become Part of a Team with Strong Character!

Ask any of our athletes: "Why rugby?" You'll see surprise on their face. And why is that? Because once you try rugby, few people think about another sport. It's a dynamic combination of power, tactics, incredible maneuvers, and feints. In the "Burevestnik" sections, coaches will teach you how to properly hold an oval ball and explain the rules in detail. Then it's simple: attend practices and get incredible enjoyment!

Rugby isn't just a game; it's history. Back in 1962 in Leningrad, the team from the Medical Institute was one of the founders of the legendary "Burevestnik" club, which later achieved silver and bronze medals in the USSR Championship, and its players formed the core of the first-ever Soviet Union national team. By joining our teams, you become part of this glorious tradition.
