Rugby Football League

Club Profile:
League for All offers anyone, of any age, any gender and disability the opportunity to play Rugby League through modified versions of the game, using Touch, Tag, Masters and Wheelchair Rugby League.

MASTERS
Masters Rugby League started in New Zealand in 1992, progressing to Australia in quick pursuit and in recent years emigrating to the UK. Masters Rugby League is a social version of the game engaging those over the age of 35. The rules are slightly modified to cater for the older gentleman, but with the man rules being no winners, no champions and no cup finals. The most important of rules being that you buy your opposite number a drink.

TOUCH
Touch Rugby is a fast moving minimal contact evasive game that is played throughout the world by men & women of all ages and skill levels. Touch Rugby is suitable for both beginners and experienced players. You can play in either men’s, women’s or mixed divisions. It is a minimal contact recreational sport that is about playing the game on the field and also the social atmosphere afterwards.

Here are a few reasons why you should get involved…
• Touch is a great way of meeting people or involving partners or friends
• Touch is a non-contact sport so is almost completely injury free
• It is a fun, easy and active way of keeping fit
• It is a very social sport, and a great way of team building

TAG
Whether you are the fittest person in your gym, or someone who hasnt played sports since you were at school, Tag Rugby could be the game for you! Tag Rugby is suitable for anyone, regardless of age, gender or skill level. It is a non contact game, with any unnecessary contact been penalized from the outset. Some people think that you need to have played rugby before to be any good at Tag Rugby. This is far from the case! Tag Rugby is primarily about running and passing, where agility speed and good hand eye co-ordination are more important that brute force or strength. The beauty of the game is that it encourages people from all sporting backgrounds to participate together in mixed social teams.

WHEELCHAIR
Wheelchair Rugby League was developed in France in 2000 and was introduced here in 2005. Wheelchair Tag Rugby League is quite unique in that it offers both disabled and non disabled players of both sexes and a wide age range the opportunity to compete both with and against each other on a level playing field created by the use of wheelchairs and some slight adaptations of the rules of Rugby League.
The sport is unique in wheelchair sports in that it is faithful to the rules of Rugby League;
• Five players in each team score tries in exactly the same way as Rugby League.
• Conversions are scored by punching the ball from a tee over mini-RL posts.
• Tackles are made as in tag RL by taking the attached tag or flag.
• Five tackles are followed by handing over the rugby ball to the opposition.
• Offside, knock-on and in touch applies as per Rugby League.
