Beyond League
Supporting young women experiencing social,emotional and mental health challenges through sport, mentorship and early intervention.
Grow with Us
Beyond League is a not-for-profit organisation delivering rugby league based wellbeing, mentorship and leadership programs for girls aged 8-22.
We support young women who may be experiencing anxiety, low confidence, social isolation, bullying, or limited access to positive support networks. Through structured sport, mentorship and wellbeing support, we create safe environments where young women feel supported, heard and valued.
Our focus is on early intervention, helping young women build the confidence ,coping skills and connections they need to navigate challenges and reduce the risk of longer-term mental health and social difficulties.
Whilst our focus is girls and young women in some settings, limited participation by young boys may be included to support inclusive delivery and positive group dynamics, while maintaining our core focus on young women experiencing disadvantage.
Why We’re Needed
Many young women today are experiencing increasing levels of psychological distress and social pressure, including anxiety, low self-worth, body image concerns, bullying, and social isolation.
Without appropriate support, these challenges can lead to ongoing mental health issues, disengagement from school or community, and reduced wellbeing.
Beyond League exists to provide accessible, early support for young women who may not otherwise receive it.
What We Do
We deliver structured programs that combine sport, mentorship and wellbeing education to provide practical support for young women.
Our programs provide:
• Safe and inclusive environments
• Trusted mentorship from positive female role models
• Practical tools to build confidence and resilience
• Opportunities for connection and belonging
• Free and low-cost access for young women experiencing disadvantage
Explore our programs, partner with us, or refer a young person who may benefit from additional support.
We work closely with schools and community organisations and use an intake and referral process to ensure our programs reach young women who would benefit most from additional support.
