Opportunity for growth and education in Rugby League

The NRL NT is happy to announce that off the back of a very successful Katherine RISE Program in 2024, we will again be running the same program for aspirational Male & Female Rugby League players from 13 to 17 years in 2025.

 

RISE is your opportunity for growth and education in Rugby League, as well as a pathway to representative honours in under 15’s Boys and under 16’s Girl’s competitions. Coming through this system will provide you with the tools to support strong Mental Health, resilience, and physical maintenance for a better performance.

 

Please see the following for more information:

 

Why: provides aspirational Junior Male and Female Rugby League players and coaches with an avenue to obtain specialised training and education through a holistic Rugby League development experience. This Program will also be the underpinning pathway to the 2024 U15’s Boys Representative team, and U16’s Representative Team for Girls.


Player Registration: Please use the below link to register and pay the $100.00 fee. All registration fees will come off Representative fees if selected.
