TRL (Touch Rugby League) is touch footy with kicking and bears the closest resemblance to Rugby League out of all the touch football codes. Not only does TRL incorporate kicking, but proper rugby league play-the-balls. 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. TRL was formed back in 2005 so
it hasn’t sprung up over night…but the real growth in the game has been experienced in the last 4 years with numbers growing significantly in Brisbane but competitions also now set up in Sydney, the Gold Coast, Beenleigh, Pine Rivers, Rockhampton, Wynnum, Redlands, Logan, Toowomba and the Sunshine Coast. Well over 1000 teams competed in TRL competitions across Australia in 2014 and this growth allows us to objectively declare that we are one of the fastest growing social sports in the country. This growth has also seen the TRL Representative scene explode! TRL is not just about passing and kicking a footy but is a great place to catch up with friends and socialize. TRL also organizes and funds numerous social functions through the year bringing players together off the field as well.
