Join the Excitement of NRL League Touch 2025 with the Pakenham Eels Rugby League Club!
Jointly developed by Touch Football Australia (TFA) and the National Rugby League (NRL), NRL League Touch combines the best aspects of Rugby League with touch football, with the Pakenham Eels creating local rules to align closer with Rugny League. The game introduces markers, kicks in general play, and the ability to drop the ball backwards, slowing down the game and making it accessible to players of all ages and skill levels.
The Pakenham Eels Rugby League Club and Touch Association are proud to deliver NRL League Touch 2025 from mid-September to mid-December 2025, offering three exciting grades each Friday evening. The competition consists of 10 rounds (plus 1 washout rounds) and three rounds of finals, with time slots at 6:30 pm, 7:20 pm, and 8:10 pm. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, there is a spot for you!
