PLAYING IN HIGHER AGE GROUP (TACKLE) CONSENT FORM

I am aware of the increased risk my child will be exposed to both physically and mentally by playing in a higher age division. I am aware that my child is required to fulfil their obligations to their correct age division prior to competing in the higher age division (if playing up an age group on a casual basis).

FOR PLAYERS PLAYING UP ONE YEAR ABOVE THEIR NATURAL AGE GROUP COMPLETED FORMS CAN BE SUBMITTED TO THE DISTRICT AT THE EARLIEST CONVENIENCE AFTER THE PLAYER HAS PARTICIPATED - FORM WILL BE SIGNED BY DISTRICT AND UPLOADED TO THE PLAYERS MYSIDELINE MEMBER RECORD

FOR PLAYERS PLAYING UP TWO YEARS ABOVE THEIR NATURAL AGE GROUP FORMS MUST BE SIGNED AND APPROVED BY DISTRICT AND NSWRL PRIOR TO PLAYER TAKING THE FIELD IN THE HIGHER AGE GROUP

PLEASE NOTE: IF A PLAYER IS PLAYING TWO YEARS ABOVE THEIR NATURAL AGE GROUP CLUBS MUST ATTACH A WRITTEN LETTER FROM A SENIOR CLUB COACH OUTLINING THAT THE ABOVEMENTIONED PLAYER HAS THE APPROPRIATE SKILLS AND PHYSICALITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A COMPETITION TWO YEARS ABOVE THEIR NATURAL AGE GROUP. APPLICATIONS THEN NEED TO BE APPROVED BY THE PLAYERS DISTRICT AND NSWRL. APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT THE REQUIRED ACCOMPANYING LETTER. APPLICATIONS TO PLAY UP 2 YEARS FOR PLAYERS IN MODIFIED AGE GROUPS (U6-U12) WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AS PER THE NRL LAWS OF THE GAME.
