Peter Beattie - Participation briefing paper
1.
2. Background
» The “Game Plan 2013 - 2017” outlined a strategic participation target of 700,000 participants. This figure
represented the total of all activity undertaken in Rugby League across schools and clubs.
» By the end of 2015 the strategic participation target had been exceeded (725,000), but there were concerning
trends emerging in registered male participation, data collection, transition from schools into clubs and
program links to fan and membership strategies.
» In August 2016 the ARLC were briefed on the participation trends and a review was commenced into the game’s
strategic approach to participation growth.
» In March 2017 the results of the review were presented to the ARLC and key recommendations were made
regarding the future strategy.
» These recommendations were refined throughout 2017 and implemented into the draft strategic plan for 2018
– 2022.
» A number of key projects will be implemented throughout 2017 as the game transitions from the previous
strategy and moves into the new strategy.
3. Background
» The challenges in participation growth are not simply related to strategies to sell and promoting the game
(exposure programs). Recent player retention research suggests the need for change in the environment
offered within Junior Rugby League clubs and competitions.
» The Player Development Framework project is specifically targeting player dropout through addressing issues
such as:
» over competitive environments;
» standards of coaching;
» weight and age affects on player dropout; and
» parental perceptions of the safety of Junior Rugby League.

11. TOTAL PARTICIPATION: Participation Growth is in
non-registered categories
Key Findings Recommendations
CHURN: Annual registered male participation
decline (2%) and club competition churn (30%)
TRANSITION: Unable to track transition rates from
promotional to structured participation offerings
due to minimal data capture
CONVERSION: Minimal capture of participant data
preventing the conversion of these participants
into fans and advocates of the game

5 DELIVERY: Need to explore and broaden the reach
of current promotional and structured offerings
NON-CONTACT: Non-contact forms of the game are
growth opportunities
6
▪ Shift focus to and prioritise growth in structured participation numbers
▪ Implementing a Player Development Framework to deliver a nationally
consistent and optimal competition environment for structured participation
▪ Focussing promotional offerings on data capture and transitioning participants
into structured offerings – primarily through the development of a National
Junior Participation Program and refining School Event offerings as a
promotional tool
▪ Developing a national offering for participants in the Infant market (broadening
the reach of current Munchkin League program)
▪ Delivery of an NRL run non-contact offering and an increased focus on delivery
of non-contact offerings in Regular School Competition.
▪ Scope opportunities with other participation providers - Schools, Clubs, TFA,
Private Providers – to broaden reach and expand delivery channels

14. Ambition:
1.0
Prioritise growth in the
number of participants who
are registering to play the
game across all formats
UNITE
• Total participation growth has been driven
by non-registered participation activities
• 30% churn in rugby league club
competitionannually
• Overall decline in males who have
registered to play the game during current
strategic cycle
• Current delivery model is not structured to
capture participant data outside of
registered club rugby league
Target: Annual growth in the number of participants who register
to play the game across all markets, segments and game formats
PRIORITIES ISSUES/IMPERATIVE
• A1.1 Develop and implement a Player
Development Framework which delivers
the optimal playing environment for
participants who register to play the game
• A1.2 Reposition rugby league introductory
programs to focus on data capture and
promoting participant transition into
registered contact and non-contact
formatsof the game
• A1.3 Leveragethe NRL’s new digital
platformto maximise participant data
capture
INITIATIVES
• Improve the retention rate of males who
register to play the game over the period
2018-2022
• Increase the number of females who
register to play the game
• Capture the data of introductory program
participants through leveraging the NRL’s
new digital platform
Indicative KPIs
2.0
Deliver contact and non-
contact participation options
for males and females year-
round
• We do not have an integratednon-contact
offering within our current participation
product portfolio
• Low proportion of female participation
across all competition formats
• The NRL relies on a relatively small
network of deliverers which places
limitations on the reach of its participation
products
• A 2.1 Develop and implement a single
national, introductory participation
programfocusedon transitioning players
into contact and non-contact formats of
the game
• A2.2 Develop a non-contact strategy and
integrate the optimal non-contact offering
into the game’s participation model
• A2.3 Providemore participation
opportunities for females and develop the
optimal participation pathway for women’s
rugby league
3.0
Build the foundations for a
national footprint via
participation growth and clear
pathways
• Rugby league is not truly considered a
‘national’ sport; markets outside NSW and
QLD remain untapped
• The game’s national footprint strategy is
unclear making it difficult to build
foundations for the future and maximise
commercial opportunities
• Limited reach into non-core state school
programs
• A3.1 Develop a national footprint strategy
for the game including:
• outlining growth pathwayand growth
thresholds
• developing state by state plans and
engaging stakeholders; and
• adjusting operating model to reflect state
by state plan
We will be the most accessible and inclusive Australian sport
by offering the highest quality participation experiences
• Implement the national, introductory
participation program and increase the
number of participants in the program
year on year
• Integrate the optimal non-contact offering
and increase the number of non-contact
participants who register to play the game
year on year
• Establish a national women’s competition
aligned to NRL clubs
• Grow and expand the NSW and QLD Cup
second tier competitions beyond their
state borders
• Increase the number of participants who
register to play the game in Victoria,
Northern Territory, Western Australia and
South Australia
15. Improve the retention of
junior males who register to

19. Key Media & Public Questions/Statements
“What is the game doing about Weight-Based Rules?”:
The National Player Development Framework project will consider weight-based rules and strategies alongside a number
of other recommendations to retain and recruit players into our game.
There are trials in place in NSWRL through recreational programs, but they have had difficulty getting traction with their
Junior Leagues to deliver the concept in a Junior League format.
“What is the game doing about Junior Coaching?”:
The game continues to invest in Junior Coaching, runs a National Coach Accreditation Scheme and ongoing updating and
support of Junior Coaches through our GDO network.
We have recently launched initiatives such as the MyLeague App and new Learning Management System to provide
coaches with better access to resources and education programs.
The National Player Development Framework project will consider junior coaching as a key outcome and will result in a re-
design of the coach education framework for Junior Coaches.
20. Key Questions and Statements
“We’re not being/haven’t been consulted”:
We have worked extensively to ensure that stakeholders are represented in our strategic projects. We have included State
and NRL club representatives on all of our project working groups and on our strategy steering committee.
There is also some expectation that the State Leagues, as a component of their role on the working groups, will represent
their constituent bodies and consult with them on the direction of the projects.
We have specifically targeted the Penrith Panthers for involvement in our projects as they are unique as the NRL Club
directly managing and funding the largest participation population. Key Panthers staffer Matt Cameron is a representative
on all of our working groups. Unfortunately the Panthers declined the offer for their CEO to also act as the NRL club
representative on the overarching steering committee.
The draft strategic plan has been reviewed by the State Leagues and the draft targets endorsed by State Leagues at a
meeting in late 2017.
21. Key Questions and Statements
“The NRL should give participation/development back to the State Leagues”:
We have committed to conducting a full review of the participation delivery model and determining the best method of delivery
and support. It is important that we get the strategy right before we determine who is responsible for delivering ad managing
each component.
States Leagues have traditionally never managed the full participation delivery workforce – from 2000 – 2012 the ARL managed
the largest participation workforce nationally, and predominantly serviced schools.
Game Development staff from State Leagues were integrated for commencement of the 2013 Strategic Cycle., joining the existing
national workforce that was in place.
Additionally, NRL Clubs have always invested and supported participation through financial and staffing resources.
It is important that the game maintains consistent national programs and branding so that we can compete with other sports who
offer attractive, well-supported and well-promoted Nationally branded participation programs (Auskick, In2Cricket, MiniRoos etc.).
“NRL Clubs should run participation/development”:
As above, we have committed to conducting a review of participation delivery and our strategy is to drive interest in the NRL club
brands through our programs.
The right strategy for participation growth will require a balance between the NRL, States and NRL Club resourcing for success.
