NRL Storm Junior League - Competition Grades

Dates: from 01 Apr 2024 to 01 Sep 2024

Under 13’s to Under 18’s: These grades start the full transition for full international rules Rugby League, with ages 13 to 15 remaining under the Safe Play Code, where rules are in place to maintain full player safety. Players will develop positional based skills, understand strategies relating to attack and defence, and play within a true competition fixture. The season for all these age groups typically starts the week after Easter every year and continues through to August for non-competition (Under 6 to Under 12), and September for competition grades (Under 13 to Under 18) depending on finals progression. Registrations are typically open from early December the year prior to the playing season. Preseason commencement is age group specific, however, typically preseason commences for competition age groups in late October the year prior to the season start, and from mid-February/early March for non-competition grades in the same competition year.
