2023-24 Rhinos Talent Pathway Schedule

Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s Rhinos Talent Pathway programme was launched in 2022 to support players and coaches in the region to fulfil their potential.

The new-look player Talent Pathway development programme, which is linked to the RFL’s England Talent Pathway initiative, aims to increase the number of quality rugby league players aged between 12 and 16 and will be the driving force behind providing a clear pathway from the grassroots game into Scholarship, Academy rugby and beyond.

Below are the dates for the upcoming 2023/24 sessions.  For more information contact tom.schofield@leedsrhinosfoundation.org
