Rugby League

Rugby League is an Australian sport played by 2 teams on a rectangular field. In rugby league, points are scored by carrying the ball and touching it to the ground beyond the opposing team's goal line; this is called a try, and is the primary method of scoring.

The opposing team attempts to stop the attacking side scoring points by tackling the player carrying the ball. In addition to tries, points can be scored by kicking goals. After each try, the scoring team gains a free kick to try at goal with a conversion for further points. Kicks at goal may also be awarded for penalties, and field goals can be attempted at any time.

League is an extremely physically demanding sport requires players to run over 10km per game, means that health and fitness levels must be high. In contact sports (mixed martial arts and rugby league), athletes purposely hit or collide with each other or with inanimate objects (including the ground) with great force. Full contact sport involves tackling, fitness is crucial for its players as well as health as players must maintain a healthy weight and physical presence.
