What's included in the Player Development Program?

The program combines on-field learning experiences with online educational content to support participant development both on and off the field.

Participants begin their journey by receiving correspondence from Griffith University to complete a Pre-Program Assessment. Throughout the program, participants attend practical, face-to-face sessions at their local program location and complete a series of online Life-Fit modules designed to enhance their personal and leadership development.

At the conclusion of the program, participants will receive further correspondence from Griffith University to complete a Post-Program Assessment, helping measure the impact of their program experience.

 

Participants can engage in the program for up to three consecutive years, allowing for ongoing growth and development. In line with the Player Development Framework Foundation Principle of giving back to the game, participants will also be offered the opportunity to complete an NRL accreditation course:

  • 14 years: RISE Players 6-12 Years Referee Program
  • 15 years: LeagueSafe Accreditation

This pathway encourages participants to not only develop as players but also contribute positively to their local rugby league community.
