No Postcode Should Stop a Child from Playing Rugby League

Across remote communities in Queensland and New South Wales, many Indigenous children grow up with a deep love for sport—but without access to structured coaching, quality equipment, or pathways to develop their skills. Geography, cost, and limited local resources mean talent often goes unseen and opportunities never arrive.

That’s why Rugby League Roo is raising funds to deliver free rugby league coaching clinics directly to Indigenous children in remote areas—at no cost to families or communities.

Why This Matters

Sport is more than a game. For Indigenous youth, it can be a lifeline—building confidence, discipline, connection, health, and hope. Yet many remote communities simply don’t have:

Qualified coaching

Regular clinics or development programs

Access to elite knowledge and pathways

Financial means to travel for training

These barriers create an uneven playing field. We’re here to change that.

We deliver free rugby league coaching clinics in remote QLD & NSW

Cover travel and logistics to reach isolated communities

Provide equipment (balls, cones, training aids, apparel)

‍ Deploy experienced coaches and mentors, including Indigenous role models

❤️ Create safe, inclusive environments where kids can learn, grow, and belong

Every dollar helps us reach more communities, more children, and more futures.

❤️ Who We’re Supporting

Our clinics are designed for Indigenous children and youth, with a focus on:

Skill development (fundamentals to advanced techniques)

Confidence and teamwork

Physical health and wellbeing

Leadership, respect, and cultural pride

For many participants, this will be their first-ever structured coaching experience.

Our Commitment

Rugby League Roo has delivered coaching programs across Australia and internationally, with a strong commitment to Indigenous engagement, inclusion, and opportunity. We work in collaboration with local communities to ensure our programs are respectful, impactful, and sustainable.

This campaign is about access, equity, and believing in potential—no matter the postcode.

Donating — any amount makes a real difference

Support Indigenous youth through opportunity, not charity

Together, we can ensure Indigenous children in remote Australia have the chance to learn, play, and dream big through the power of rugby league.

Rugby League Roo recognise the Traditional Owners of the land, their ongoing connection to it, and pay respects to Elders past, present, and emerging at the start of an event or meeting, demonstrating awareness of Indigenous culture and custodianship.
