Rugby league training for the eastern suburbs & South Sydney
Two of the game’s foundation clubs share this corner of Sydney, and the line between them runs through the Randwick council area — handed south to Souths decades ago to balance the districts. Which side of it your club sits on decides the jersey you trial for.

Which club your address belongs to
Each district feeds its own club’s junior representative teams.

The southern half of what was Roosters territory in the Randwick council area was handed to South Sydney in the mid-20th century. Junior district boundaries follow where your club plays, and clubs near a boundary can sit in either district. Your club or the district junior league can confirm yours.

Set it up for Eastern suburbs & South Sydney
Four things, in the order the app asks them. None of them needs a coach.
Choose rugby league, then your team nights
Onboarding asks “When do you train with your team?” Pick your club nights — Sydney Roosters Juniors or wherever you play — and your gym and conditioning are scheduled around them, lighter the day after a big one. Tell it your equipment and any niggles and every exercise is fitted to both.
Match the program to your league’s start
The app treats November to February as rugby league pre-season and March to October as the season. A junior rep player whose games start in late January or February can set their phase to in-season early. The phase lives in Program → Your year.
Know your numbers on day one
Your first testing session is ready immediately: Bronco test, Bench press 1RM, Weighted chin-up 3RM, Back squat 1RM, Standing vertical jump. It is re-run every 8 weeks, and the results re-price your training weights and conditioning paces.
Put your suburb on the board
In Social → Town, set where you train. Your minutes count toward that town’s weekly conditioning and strength top-10 boards — only the town is kept, never your location.
What you start with, by the month you join
Every block is four weeks — three building, one deload — so a free month is one complete block. The rugby league calendar and conditions are on the Sydney guide.

A club licence is A$8 per player, per month (minimum 5), and every player on it gets full Train Smart membership at no cost to them. You write the block once, it lands in each player’s app, and the console shows who actually did it.
