Pakenham Eels Rugby League Club and Touch Association Inc
Our club is focused on getting kids active, reducing time spent on devices, and providing them with the opportunity to participate in rugby league in a safe, structured, and supportive environment. We believe sport plays an important role in building confidence, teamwork, discipline, and healthy habits that extend well beyond the field.
This year marks our 10th anniversary since the club was established in 2016, which is a major milestone for us. We would love to involve more families and continue growing our supportive community club. We offer non-competitive teams for ages Under 6 to Under 12, and competitive grades from Under 13 to Under 18.
We are hosting a “Come and Try” Day at our fields on March 28 for children aged 5–18. It will be a fun day where kids can try rugby league drills and skills, with prize giveaways and a sausage sizzle for all participants.
