Rugby League and Touch Football are coming to the Livingstone Recreation Reserve giving local families from Adelaide River, Batchelor, Berry Springs, and the Cox Peninsula a brand-new opportunity to play, connect, and belong.
As part of NRL NT’s continued investment in community growth, plans are underway to establish a new junior Rugby League and Touch Football club based at the Livingstone Recreation Reserve. This initiative will focus on providing a safe, fun, and inclusive environment for boys and girls to learn new skills, make friends, and enjoy sport closer to home.
To help bring this vision to life, NRL NT and Touch Football NT invite the community to attend the following:
