Nutrition for Adolescent Rugby League Players
An evidence-based, practical online course designed for junior rugby league players, parents, clubs, schools, and academies who want to support performance without compromising health.
Enrol NowWhat’s at Stake
Adolescence is a once-only window for physical development. If nutrition isn’t handled properly during these years, the consequences can extend well beyond this season.
This isn’t just about footy this season —
it’s about setting players up for long-term health, performance, and resilience.
Performance plateaus earlier than it should
Injury risk rises
Confidence drops
Long-term habits are formed the wrong way
"The best nutrition resource I’ve seen for young players."
I’ve been around rugby league my whole life, and this is hands down the best nutrition resource I’ve seen for young players. It cuts through the rubbish and teaches kids exactly what they need to perform, recover, and stay healthy. The hydration and concussion modules alone are worth it. Every junior club and academy should put their players through this.

"The short courses are exactly what our Sports Academy students need."
The short courses are exactly what our Sports Academy students need. It’s fantastic to have age-based programs tailored specifically to each student’s sport, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. We’ve seen a noticeable increase in both student and parent engagement, as families recognise the content is relevant and genuinely useful for their child’s development. The results are already showing, with our students becoming more aware of how to fuel their bodies appropriately and recover more efficiently.
