Background: Recreational participation plays a fundamental role in improving or deteriorating the quality of life, meaning that participation in active recreation enhances the quality of life. In contrast, involvement in passive recreation could deteriorate the quality of life. Passive recreational participation is associated with hypokinetic condition. However, in the South African rural context, recreational participation appears to be imbalanced in active and passive activities, because most of the recreational activities are male-dominated. Women seem to participate less in most recreational activities. The possible cause is still unknown.

The physical nature of the sport of rugby allows for a high incidence of injury, even in university rugby, compared to other contact sporting codes. Rugby Union lacks injury data focusing on university student-athletes, more specifically in South Africa. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors of injury, and to predict the risk of injury based on playing position among male rugby players participating in the FNB Varsity Cup Young Guns tournament. The study used a quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational research design. From a population of approximately 360 male rugby players who participated annually in the Young Guns tournament in SA, a study sample of 252 participants were conveniently recruited to participate in this study. An adapted version of the standardised and validated Rugby Union injury questionnaire was used to capture the rugby injury data, such as the location, type, nature, and severity of injury. The injury data collected was captured onto a Microsoft Office Excel 2016 spreadsheet and analysed using SPSS version 28.

The importance of having a structure in any sports code and following it ensures better functioning of the particular sports code. The management of sport is defined as "the study and practice involved in relation to all people, activities, organizations, and businesses involved in producing, facilitating, promoting, to organizing any product that is sport, fitness, and recreation-related; and, sports products can be goods, services, people, places, or ideas" (Parkhouse,2001). The running of a club should be looked at holistically and any flaws should be identified and corrected. This study explores the implementation of the sports policies and procedures of professional sports clubs at the University of the Western Cape.
