Try Time Facebook	Information Pack

The Try Time Junior Rugby League program provides a safe, enjoyable and inclusive environment where children, teenagers and adults with special needs and intellectual disabilities can play Rugby League in their local community.

Catering for both females and males who have Special Needs and Intellectual Disabilities ranging from but not limited to: Autism, Down Syndrome, Developmental Delay and Vision Impaired with the core focus on ability not their disability.

Try Time Junior Rugby League program is a modified version of the game played on a weekly basis to suit each individuals needs whilst trying to keep it as real as possible using Rugby League techniques with a clear focus promoting:

• Fitness
• Strengthening muscle tone
• Improvement in gross motor skills
• Social interaction and teamwork

But most of all Try Time is all about having fun through an inclusive environment and culture created by Junior Rugby League Football Clubs and the wider community.

Clubs who have introduced Try Time have seen an increase in social engagement with the players, their families and the wider club. Greater awareness and inclusion has seen mainstream coaches, trainers and players want to become more involved by volunteering time to assist where needed including past players wanting to give back to their Junior clubs. 

Our key objectives: 

    • Joint participation in events and activities with measurable outcomes. 

    • Promote the virtues of our partnership and expand our reach for new community programs. 

    • Explore opportunities for Try Time participants outside of Rugby League. 

    • Game day participation, player experiences and Ambassadors.
