Abstract In Poland for 20 years young people have been coming into a newly created world in which culture and social tendencies dominate. It is based on a thorough rebuilding of a social structure, institutions as well as people's behaviour. During such sudden changes young people are looking for different opportunities to adopt to a new reality. Unfortunately, there is a discrepancy in cultural aims. Additionally, the expansion of mass culture makes it more complicated because young people do not accept traditions and universal values. They glorify the material and hedonistic world instead. Yet, the most negative transformation includes the escalation of social pathology (alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution) aw well as different forms of aberration like aggression, hooliganism, subculture, sects or self- aggression. Brutality and aggressive attitudes are the inseparable part of young people's lives in Poland. Rugby lets people relieve tension, and it teaches the fair play rules. Such a discipline stresses cooperation and contributes to adopting peculiar rules used in a regular life later on. As a consequence, difficult youth may function well in a society. Rugby brings up and is a form of rehabilitation. This method may be a weapon to fight against crime committed by young people. It may also protect them from destructive and pathological impact of malfunctional environments.
Key words Rugby; young people; rehabilitation;
