About This Cause
The Austin Huns are a charitable organization, dedicated to spreading the values and community of rugby in Central Texas and across the US. We are a "big tent" club, who believe that our sport can help create a stronger, healthier community, both physically and socially. The health benefits of Rugby are many and varied, and at the most basic level, Rugby is a great way of increasing the time spent doing physical activity. Current guidelines* suggest that adults should achieve a total of at least 30 minutes a day of at least moderate intensity physical activity on five or more days of the week. For children, the recommendation is at least 60 minutes of at least moderate intensity physical activity each day. At least twice a week this should include activities to improve bone health, muscle strength and flexibility. Rugby for young people - a sport for all shapes and sizes Rugby is a game that is uniquely suited for all shapes and sizes, girls and boys, all ages and abilities. It can be enjoyed in many forms, from fifteens to sevens to non-contact games and can even be played on the beach or on snow. There is a level of participation for every child to enjoy. By applying a holistic approach, Rugby and other sports can play a prominent role in promoting a healthy lifestyle, allowing players to enjoy a lifetime of sporting participation.

These are now collectively known as the World Rugby values and are incorporated within the World Rugby Playing Charter, a guiding document aimed at preserving rugby’s unique character and ethos both on and off the field of play. The core values enable participants immediately to understand the character of the games and what makes it distinctive as a sport which is played by people of all shapes and sizes. The World Rugby Playing Charter is incorporated within the World Rugby laws of the game and can be read in a number of languages by going to world.rugby/laws INTEGRITY Integrity is central to the fabric of the game and is generated through honesty and fair play.

DISCIPLINE Discipline is an integral part of the game both on and off the field and is reflected through adherence to the laws, the regulations and rugby’s core values. RESPECT Respect for team-mates, opponents, match officials and those involved in the game is paramount.
