Learning Disability Rugby League
York RLFC's Learning Disability Rugby League side are proud to be an established founder member of the Community Integrated Care Learning Disability Super League (LDSL), which launched in 2019.
A non-competitive variant of the sport centred around inclusion and participation, LDRL is open to players with learning disabilities and allowing them to represent York RLFC against other rugby league clubs.
The Community Integrated Care Learning Disability Super League (LDSL), a partnership between Community Integrated Care, the Rugby Football League (RFL), and Super League, provides a specially adapted version of rugby league for individuals with learning disabilities and autism, allowing them to play for their favourite clubs.
As the first initiative of its kind in world sport, the LDSL allows individuals with learning disabilities and autism to play a specially adapted version of Rugby League for the clubs they love, offering participants the unparalleled thrill of participating on some of the sport’s biggest stages.
The programme aims to promote skill development, boost confidence, foster positive experiences, and promote social inclusion. The LDSL programme across the country has enabled hundreds of people to represent the clubs they love, offering them the opportunity to play on some of the sport's biggest stages. But this partnership transcends far beyond the playing field, offering regular media and match-day volunteering roles to those supported by Community Integrated Care.
York RLFC's LDRL side return to training on Wednesday 2nd April (6pm-7pm) at the York St John University Sports Park, on Haxby Road (YO31 8TA), with all sessions running every Wednesday thereafter.
All sessions are free to attend although, for the planning purposes, participants are asked to complete the following form by clicking HERE.
