The NRL Game Development team, in collaboration with the nib Newcastle Knights recently delivered the largest game development event ever delivered in the Hunter Region.
The action began on Tuesday, 29th October, with Stage 1 of the league tag carnival at Charlestown’s St John Oval.
This program, spanning six action-packed days, saw the Charlestown event reach a huge milestone, with 800 students from 28 schools participating.
Newcastle's largest league tag clinic
The league tag carnival gave students the chance to learn new skills, build friendships, and connect with peers from across the region.
The Newcastle Knights have a proud history of supporting grassroots rugby league, and alongside the NRL Game Development team, the Club is committed to nurturing the next generation of players.
With 180 teams, 70 schools, and over 2000 students participating in this year’s initiative, the 6-day carnival continues at other key locations: West Wallsend, Greta, Dora Creek, Salamander Bay, and Woodberry.
