Elmbridge Eagles Rugby League Pre-Season 2025 Will Start In Early March

Dear Players, Parents and Volunteers, 

The Rugby League Season begins soon and in preparation for this Elmbridge Eagles will shortly be running pre-season fitness and basic skills sessions at the Old Cranleighan Sports Club in Thames Ditton.

This will be complemented by a couple of exciting warm up tournaments for our Junior Boys and a tournament and open evening to celebrate the 175th anniversary of St Mary's University for our Wheelchair Rugby League team.

Elmbridge Eagles runs Rugby League teams for all age groups, abilities and genders from primary school aged girls and boys up to adult and Masters men and women's teams.

We aim to provide a fun sporting and social experience appropriate for anyone from complete Rugby League novices and amateur players through to those who want a pathway into the elite levels of Rugby League.

We serve not only Thames Ditton, but the whole of Elmbridge and the wider South East England catchment area.

If you haven't played before come and have a go - but please register first.....

Rugby League is a great way to have fun, make friends, stay fit and improve your Rugby Skills. If you want to find out more, you are welcome to simply attend a session either to watch and meet the coaches or to have a go.

If you intend to have a go, the only thing we ask you to do in advance of this is to register with the RFL. Rugby League is a contact sport and while serious injury is rare, registering with the RFL insures you to train and play. You can find the links to register by  going to the homepage here then visiting the information page about the age grade you are interested in joining from the menu.

So whether you are an experienced adult player, a primary aged child who's new to Rugby League, or just looking for a fun and sociable way to keep fit we run training sessions and teams which you'll enjoy and get something out of.

E-mail us at admin@elmbridgerl.com and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have about the Elmbridge Eagles,  Rugby League and registering to play.
