2025 Coaching Applications

 Exciting Changes for 2025! 

 We are pleased to announce that the NSWRL Board has officially endorsed the transition of the Under 16s competition to Group 9 Junior Rugby League from the 2025 season.

 This decision was based on retention data comparing Group 9 registrations with other Western and South-West regions, which showed a real opportunity to improve retention of players aged 16-18 in our area. By keeping our teenage players in a junior environment that suits their social and developmental stages, we’re aiming to foster both player wellbeing and success.

  What’s new for 2025? Group 9 has also endorsed the inclusion of Female Tackle in 2025, bringing some exciting new opportunities for players:

• U18s Female Tackle (Non-Competitive)
• U18s Tackle
• League Tag
• Open Women’s Tackle (Competitive)
• Reserve Grade
• First Grade 

 Coaching opportunities available! We are also accepting applications for the following coaching positions:

• U18 Female Tackle (Non-Competitive)
• League Tag
• Open Women’s Tackle (Competitive)
• U18s Tackle 

 Applications close Monday, 30th September. Please send your application to alburythunderrl@gmail.com.
