Kids come in all shapes and sizes. Some kids are able to play more confidently, and really shine, when they are matched with players their own size.
Based on weight and ability, there is an opportunity for kids to play down one age group, but to do so, they must obtain dispensation from NSW Rugby League. NSWRL has set aside three dates so players wanting to play down an age group can be weighed before the season starts.
WEIGHT DISPENSATION
Three “weigh in” afternoons/nights only
Night 1
Date: Monday 18th March
Venue: Magpies Leagues Club, Waitara
Time: 4pm – 6pm
Night 2
Date: Tuesday 19th March
Venue: North Sydney Leagues Club
Time: 4pm – 6:30pm
Night 3
Date: Tuesday 2nd April
Venue: Narrabeen Academy of Sport – Rugby League Office
Time: 4pm – 6:30pm
Your child MUST attend one of these nights for weigh in to be able to play down an age group.
Important: To play down an age group, weighing is necessary. Weight dispensation guidelines were developed to allow a player who isn’t confident of being able to handle the physicality of their own age group to play down one age group. They are not designed for the gun player who happens to be small to play down an age and be a stand out.
