Rugby League demands endurance, speed, agility, strength and power, as well as technical and tactical awareness. Improvement in these areas helps reduce the risk of injury so you can play better, more often, and for longer.
LeagueSmart
LeagueSmart is a programme developed by ACC and New Zealand Rugby League, providing information to prevent rugby league injuries and enable safe participation. The programme is based on the ACC SportSmart 10-point action plan and is located on the NZRL website (external link).
Pre-season LeagueSmart workshops are held in your area. The workshops are a mandatory requirement and provide coaches, managers, trainers and players with injury prevention education and strategies on how to improve performance. Contact your local community rugby league office for more information.

You can customise your own Smart tips to include individual or team information such as key dates, gear checklists and contact numbers.
