What do I need to be a club volunteer?

It is a requirement of the Hunter Junior Rugby League that "ALL" volunteers must have a valid NSW Working With Children Check before registering as a rugby league volunteer. Regardless of whether you are a close relative of a participant or not you, you still require a clearance:

​

Where can I learn how to use MySideline?

The best place to start will be by completing the Club Administrator courses available on the NRL Learning Centre. Every task is covered via a series of free individual online modules.

​

Once completed and if you still have any questions or require assistance, the local League and Club Support Coordinators listed below will be able to assist. The NRL also have dedicated support staff and resources available to club administrators.

​

A member at my club has suffered a concussion, what is the process for them to return to play?

The Concussion Resources page outlines the process that must be followed before a concussed player can return to play.

​

Where can I get more information to share with my members around TackleReady?

The NRL has put together an information flyer for parents which outlines what each participant will learn over the course of the program.

​

There is also a page on the Play Rugby League website with more information on the TackleReady program.
