Ahead of the Game is a series of mental fitness workshops, delivered by an elite team of former Rugby League pro’s, to build young players’, coaches and parents’ mental fitness, resilience and confidence levels on – and off - the field.
Funded and developed by Movember, Ahead of the Game is being delivered by Rugby League Cares. Each workshop is 1 hour long and delivered in your changing rooms, when your usual ‘team training’ would take place, (or at another suitable time for you and the club).

All U12 to U18 teams are invited to take part. We can also work with you to arrange an evening session for all parents/carers: this can be a social evening or fundraiser for your club, hosted in partnership with our team of former professional players. Think quizzes, challenges, games and much more!
All young players who take part will get some Movember Freebies at their workshop: and all parents/guardians and coaches will receive helpful information to take home on how to support their young players’ mental fitness at home.
We are sure you will agree that the past year has been hugely challenging for us all, and we know our young players have felt these challenges too. Through these workshops, your young players will learn how to recognise and cope with any negative thoughts and feelings and build their resilience to help them cope better in the future. They will also know how to recognise if a teammate is having a tough time, and how best to get them the help they need.
