Rugby in Taiwan

This page is the survey the humanities programme ran in 2019: eighty replies from former players, a list of the schools that have fielded a team, and three reports from that year.

These pieces were written in Chinese and are shown as written.

Eighty replies from former players

Eighty respondents, November 2019, all former players. The percentages are as recorded.

73.8%

do not make their living from rugby

受訪校友多數表示,臺灣沒有職業賽事,打球沒有收入,畢業之後只能把橄欖球當成興趣。

其餘 26.3% 以橄欖球為正業。

95.5%

say the game is not taken seriously here

受訪者普遍認為政府與協會缺乏完善規劃,基層培養不易,資源不足。

大學畢業後沒有職業隊可以打,制度、福利與就業機會都差,選手的教育與就業輔導不完善。

What Tamkang does about it

  1. 人文社會班經營球隊的社群,並以攝影記錄球隊。
  2. 校內舉辦帶式橄欖球比賽,讓沒進球隊的學生也碰得到球。
  3. 每月的淡江日,在校球員與校友一起打。
  4. 校史課上講這段歷史。
