Rugby league on Sydney’s northern beaches, North Shore and Hornsby Shire runs through the Manly-Warringah and North Sydney district junior leagues, which operate together, with clubs such as Narrabeen, Mona Vale, Belrose and Beacon Hill. Both Manly and North Sydney field Harold Matthews (under-17) and SG Ball (under-19) teams, and both have NSW Cup sides.

Set it up for Northern beaches & North Shore
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 — Manly-Warringah/North Sydney District Rugby League 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.
Coaching a side in Northern beaches & North Shore?
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.
