Hull KR to Host Elite Performance Centre Taster Day

Hull KR are excited to confirm the club will be hosting an Elite Performance Centre Taster Day on Thursday 24th July between 1pm and 3pm.

The Elite Performance Centre is Hull KR’s own college. The first semester will start this September and will be based at Hull KR’s Sewell Group Craven Park in the RSV North Stand.

25 places are available this year and this will grow year-on-year. For this year, it is for Year 11 leavers and for boys only.

The courses available are:

- Level 3 Sport

- Level 3 Psychology (optional)

- GSCE Maths and English (If required)

These courses will provide direct links to further progression and university applications will be supported by the club.

The timetable is full-time and will incorporate practical rugby development sessions which will include strength and conditioning in the gym. Students will play college games every Wednesday throughout the league season.

The taster day at Sewell Group Craven Park will give prospective players and their families a chance to learn more about the club’s full-time education and rugby programme that forms part of the Hull KR Elite Performance Centre.

The programme has only a handful of places remaining for the 2025/26 intake, with recruitment nearly at full capacity. The upcoming open day will offer a final opportunity for those keen to join Hull KR’s Elite Performance Centre and be part of an exciting era of development at the club.

Speaking on the upcoming event, Hull KR Head of Youth, Jason Netherton, said: “We’re incredibly proud of what we’re building through our Elite Performance Centre. It’s a pathway that supports the next generation of Hull KR players not just as athletes, but as well-rounded individuals.

“This open day will give players and families a real insight into the standards, support, and opportunities available within the programme. With only a few spots remaining, this is a great chance for those wanting to be part of something special at Hull KR.”

The day will include player-led training sessions, academic taster workshops, and talks from key coaching and education staff, giving attendees a full overview of the club’s commitment to holistic player development.
