Recreational Rugby League
The game is changing with the NSWRL's innovative Recreational Rugby League programs – and following a bumper first season last year, the 2018-19 season will be bigger and better than ever.
The socially-oriented tournaments provide a fun and hassle-free opportunity for players to participate in a fast-paced and friendly footy format. These include M8s, 9s and League Tag competitions, typically held outside of the more competitive Junior League season.
A number of competitions have been booked in to take place. Stay tuned as details of future competitions will be listed here.
Simply email communityrl@nswrl.com.au to register your interest as an individual or as a team.

All are FREE programs with no player clearances or coaches required. Non-Junior League players are welcome and insurance is provided. Players are welcome to attend any week of the program and there is no registration cut-off.
M8s: A socially-oriented competition for younger age groups. An eight-a-side format with each team playing two (20-minute) games per week on a modified field.
Friday Night 9s: A socially-oriented competition for open age groups, played on Friday nights. It's a great way to stay fit during the off-season and for new open-age players to be introduced to the game.
