SafePlay Code

The NRL's National SafePlay Code was developed to emphasise safety and good conduct within the game of Rugby League by creating the best possible on-field environment and actively encouraging the core values of Rugby League, and a healthy respect for all participants. It applies to all players up to and including the Under 15 years age group.


The SafePlay code protects our young players by removing some of the more dangerous and "rougher" elements of the game player by senior players, including what you see during NRL matches.


Some of the SafePlay code regulations include:

  • Tackles above the armpits are not permitted.
  • The ball-carrier cannot be lifted.
  • Ankle taps are not permitted.
  • It is an offence to sling or swing the ball-carrier.
  • A player cannot drop, dive or fall on a prone player.
  • It is an infringement to use threatening or offensive language.
