Robbie Butcher, NT Rugby's Pathways Manager, will spearhead the program, supported by a team of coaches from our representative programs and Club sides. Together, they will deliver a high-quality experience that focuses on both on-field and off-field development.
Program Highlights Include:
- Fitness testing
