A player shall participate in their correct/natural age group (i.e. if a player is turning 9 in the current calendar year, they shall play Under 9s).
Exemptions to play down an age group may be considered through a formal application process relating to one of the below Policies/Laws:
- Medical Exemption by application to the NSWRL CMO.
- NSWRL Weight and Age Guidelines.
- Competitions where the use of the NRL 18 Month Registration Window is approved.
Any exemption to play down an age group must not contravene the NRL mixed gender policy. Mixed gender participation in Rugby League Competitions is permitted up to and including the calendar year (1 January to 31 December) in which they attain the age of 12 years.
