2025 RISE Rookie CAS Schoolboys Program

Tony Crowe • October 9, 2024

Put your best foot forward for under 15's and 17's Junior Reps in 2025

As part of the NRL’s plan to build for the 2025 and future Combined Affiliated States & Territory Team (NT, SA, WA, VIC), we are recruiting Boys players from 15 to 17 years to join the NT Westpac RISE Rookie Offseason Program, which consists of 9 field and gym sessions from November to March 2025.
 
Upon completion of all 9 sessions, 17's & 18's (turning 18 in 2025) years players will be assessed on their abilities, testing results, commitment and training performance, with up to 7 players being given the opportunity to attend 3 camps and a trial in Melbourne (played before a State of Origin game). This process will be part of the selection model to recruit NT players into the CAS Team, who will then compete in the Australian Secondary Schoolboys U18's Championships in July .....an event which may also be your best and only opportunity to be identified and offered a potential start to a career in the NRL.
 
For players turning 15 and 16, this will be your opportunity to get exposure to the CAS program, put your best foot forward for 15's and 17's reps in 2025, and start building a framework for attending CAS camps in the near future.


Supported by Australian Government , the RISE Program provides aspirational Junior Rugby League players and coaches with an avenue to obtain specialised training and education through a holistic Rugby League development experience


Training dates will be provided for in due course which may be on a Wednesday or Sunday, with each session taking place at the CDU Gym and Field in Casuarina for 1.5 hours .TBC. Each member of the squad will receive full training apparel free once you have completed 2 sessions, and you will only need to bring shoes, boots a water bottle and towel.
 
For Alice and Katherine players, we will provide you with information on how you can be involved and details around following the TeamBuilder App in your own time.

The Territory Junior Championships were introduced in 2024 aimed at creating more opportunities to play our game locally at regional representative level of participation to support inspirational Players, Coaches, Sports Trainers, Team Managers and Match Officials. By providing this regional structure focussed on bringing people together in a more challenging environment will assist NRL NT in delivering greater personal and professional development for people within rugby league both on and off the field for all involved. This process will also be integrated into the RISE programs currently available and importantly improve how we select our NT Titans teams and how they prepare to compete at specific Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League National Championships instead of the current gap between local club football and direct into a far greater level of national representative systems. This development structure is inline with all other States & Territories except Tasmania as South Australia are now included in all NRL Victoria pathway programs. Last year 3 Regions were created to represent their local schools and clubs at the inaugural event from Darwin City, Southern Heat and Katherine Cowboys with long term plans to include a Central Australia platform to support Alice Springs, Tennent Creek and ideally Gove focussed on providing access to such an opportunity for more Northern Territorian people. Without confirming just yet we are working closely with the new Gove United Rugby League administration and local government officials hopeful of their inclusion this year. As our goal for this NRL NT initiative is to create greater access to this level of experience through rugby league engaging more people and deliver a true whole of Northern Territory Representative culture.
