    'Rugby stopped me going off the rails'

    Rugby league is a fast and dynamic game, which involves great strength, stamina and skill, and is played through the summer, so no muddy pitches, or cold, wet training nights!

    With so many variations, you don't have to play the full version of the game to be part of it.

    Whatever your age, gender, fitness level or technical ability there is a version of rugby league that will suit you. Playing rugby league has many benefits, including keeping fit, meeting new people and maybe even progressing to a higher level.

    Although rugby league shares similarities with rugby union, it is important to see them as different games, and as such, each has its own unique set of skills. Look at the rules to get a feel for the game.Fancy getting involved with a team locally? Find your local club by using the RFL's club finder.
