Is too late to return to rugby?

[lospumas]

Hello, I did rugby for 1 year (14-15) and now I'm 16 and I want to go back to training, can I get to a good level? The club I go to is in the third division of the urba (Argentina)

Of course you can, just go for it.
It may take a season or so to catch up on some technical aspects, but you'll be fine.

Get your basic fitness back up, grab a friend and hit the tackle bags, practise, practise practise on all the basic skills.

Im 34, I just started training again after 18 years - never to late to play the game.

I'm 47, I started up again 4 years ago, after 20-odd years out.
It's only walking rugby, for the purposes of injury prevention (and that my club doesn't actually play touch). With the walking rugby, I'm not quite the youngest, whilst our oldest is well into his 80s.
