Protected Football Team

I'm Recep Ozaşık. I am a 4th-year student at Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University, Department of International Relations. Today I will tell you about the Rugby Team. Covered Football is a 11v11 sport. During the game, the defensive and offensive teams take the field separately. Rugby is a game of tactics. The team with the best tactics wins the match. Our sports team was first established as a club in 2016. Later, we included this team in our university. Our team started to play actively in 2018. We are currently training in the area provided to us by the District Sports Facility. Our field at the university will be ready as soon as possible. After that, we will continue our training there. Apart from that, we do tactical-technical training in the basketball court and indoor sports area of the university. Our team consists of 55 people. We are divided into offence and defence. There are 11 people on the field. These 11 people are separate people as defenders and attackers. We have about 8-9 matches throughout the year, some of them are friendly matches. Friendly games are important things for us to prepare for the season. Apart from that, we have 3 matches in the league. If we leave the group within the league, these matches may increase. In universities, there is the Intercollegiate Protected Football League. It includes the 1st League and the 2nd League. We operate in the 2nd League. Our biggest achievement to date was to play the semi-finals. In the following years, we regressed a little with the onset of the pandemic. It's actually good for us in terms of going to the top league because we can prepare better. Our team is open to every male student at our university. You can be any height and weight. We have suitable locations for you. Our team is also open to girls. They can also play rugby. Since it is a team game, you can learn teamwork in the best way possible. We train in a crowded environment, which helps us to get used to working in groups in our business life. Apart from that, you can be more self-confident thanks to this sport. Rugby is actually a sport that aims to teach you to create a nice environnement and be a family. I wish success to the students who will take the university exam.
