Rugby League

 

Rugby League

 

Rugby League is played in every English county as well as in Wales, Scotland and Ireland and is one of Sport England's Top 10 'priority' sports.

 

The simple aim of Rugby League is to score more points than your opponents. Tries are scored (worth four points) by touching the ball down over your opponent’s try line. Tries can be converted to six by kicking a goal. The other means of scoring are a penalty goal (also worth two points) and a drop goal (worth one point). 

There are two teams of 13 players with four reserves on the interchange bench. Each team can make a maximum of 12 changes involving any combination of players. All players work together in their team’s defensive formation. The ball has to be passed backwards. It can be passed as many times as you like until a player is tackled in possession.

 

There are a number of clubs across Cheshire & Warrington ranging from small social clubs to more organised clubs with junior and adult sections.

Club Accreditation

Outline of NGB's Club accreditation scheme

*        Increased participation levels via promotion of the clubs in their communities.

 

*        Increased opportunity in terms of accessing resources, developing coaches and volunteers.

 

*        Raising the standard of the sport and creating a quality environment for all involved.
