School Coaching Clinics

Rugby league is about much more than tackling, passing and kicking. It is about working hard, trying your best, and working together as a team.

Through Coaching Clinics, many children get their first taste of playing rugby league using educational drills and games by having fun alongside their friends. The clinics are inclusive, and easily adaptable to cater to all ages and skill levels, meaning no one is left out of the fun of playing rugby league.

Roosters and NRL representatives visit schools to host the clinics around normal school hours to reinforce the importance of education. Students then get the chance to learn on the field as well – from basic rugby league skills to more advanced elements of the Greatest Game of All.

Training/Skill Sessions can be run for your schools Rugby League team or classes who wish to learn or better themselves in the game, using designed sessions for a school’s specific Rugby League needs (ie. Tackle Ready, Core Skills, Attacking/Defensive principals etc.), these training/skill sessions are usually done prior to a Gala Day event or a competition.

These clinics can also be utilised to help drive sports participation, with non-contact skills, and Sydney Roosters Ambassadors in attendance.

Sporting Schools programs are provided free to children and their families to help students build the confidence and capability to be active for life.

If your school is interested in having the NRL run Sporting Schools sessions at your school, we can connect and organise these sessions through the Sporting Schools website. The NRL LIFT Program (League Integrated Fundamental Training), is a program designed to encourage junior high school students to participate in activities that have a focus on fundamental human movements and fundamentals of sporting skills along with social, emotional wellbeing skills.

This is targeted for Year 7 and Year 8 students. A one-off Intro Clinic can be run at the school, free of charge, to give your school a trial of the program before a decision is made to have Sporting Schools sessions run at your school.
