Subsidised CBDJRL Junior Registrations Return for 2026!

It’s not too late to sign up to be a Canterbury-Bankstown District Junior Rugby League (CBDJRL) player – and once again eligible families can save up to $100 per child* on registration fees through the Future Bulldogs Program.  

For the third year running, the Canterbury League Club will fund a subsidy that offers $100 per child for those who meet the age criteria ranging from Under 5s to Under 13s within the CBDJRL. 

The grant seeks to help reduce overhead costs for families and encourage more kids to participate in grassroots rugby league - the most cost-effective sport in the local area. 

Season 2026 kicks off on Saturday April 11 with the CBDJRL to again consist of 13 clubs: Bankstown Bulls, Bankstown Sports, Berala Bears, Chester Hill Hornets, Chipping Norton Kangaroos, East Hills Bulldogs, Greenacre Tigers, Milperra Colts, Moorebank Rams, Revesby Heights Rhinos, St George Dragons, St Christophers and St Johns Eagles. 

You can view each CBDJRL club website here.

The 2025 season saw the CBDJRL reach record numbers with total registrations ticking over 4000 for the first time. The total number (4143) saw a 13% increase overall with male participation up 4.5% and females up 77%. 

The Bulldogs together with the Canterbury League Club and collective CBDJRL clubs hope to see those numbers continue to soar.
