RISE Program provides aspirational Junior Rugby League players and coaches with an avenue to obtain specialised training and education through a holistic Rugby League development experience.

NRL Northern Territory is currently looking for expressions of interest for Managers and Coaches to join the Off Season Westpac RISE Rookie Program for 16's to 18's Boys in 2024/25.
