TRL (Touch Rugby League) is non-contact Rugby League. Not only does TRL incorporate kicking, but proper rugby league play-the-balls and other league skills. As a result, TRL eliminates the annoying touch tactics around quick ‘dump and runs’ and also provides a smoother and quicker game than the TAG codes.
Why Play TRL?
- Social Men’s and Mixed competitions
- Kick on any touch
- Dummy-half can be touched and score
- Must take kick-offs
- AFL rule in men’s: if a player catches a kick on the full in the in goal it is a try
- Two point tries for girls!
The new season has just kicked off! After a short break, we recommence with round 2 on the 29th
of June, but it's not too late to get on board for the season. It's a very easy game to pick up, especially if you have ever played touch or footy before. But if you haven't played before, don't think you cant give it a try. There are a heap of teams and players that have never played before.
The Sunshine Coast competition is run at Maroochydore Rugby League fields on Wises road on Wednesday nights with both mixed and men’s competitions. If you would like to check it out, head down to the fields for the next round and see what the game is all about. There are approximately 400 members at TRL Sunshine Coast and over 50,000 players Australia wide.
