It is a game-wide project that has been undertaken to address concerns around emerging trends in participation. The 11 initiatives associated with the Framework focus provide the optimal delivery of Rugby League to participants based on their age, stage of development, skill level and aspiration and is grounded in evidenced based research.
By achieving the three primary objectives of Attract and Retain Participation, Foster Personal Development, and Transition and Nurture Performance, the game will deliver an environment that affords all Australians the opportunity to play Rugby League regardless of their age, skill or aspiration.

With our objectives in mind, as well as our findings from extensive research we established a set of guiding principles that led to the development of a series of exciting new programs and initiatives.
The RISE Rugby League Development Program provides aspirational Junior Rugby League players (Under 13 - Under 16 years) and coaches with an avenue to obtain specialised training and education through a holistic Rugby League development experience.
The Player Development Framework covers almost all bases of the Rugby League experience so you may have some questions of things we haven't covered specifically.
