Every Sydney Junior Rugby League competition, club and district will be involved in this great initiative throughout the entire season. From key messages like #letthemplay, coach armbands, pledges and player handshakes, all that take part in this great game will have the opportunity to promote and be involved in this fantastic campaign.

At age 13, I went to my dad to complain about a situation (changing defensive positions) where I didn’t think I was being treated fairly by a coach. My dad listened very closely to the whole story and then looked at me and told me something that stuck with me for the rest of my life… He simply smiled and said, “Work harder”, and walked away.
