LEAGUEABILITY
LEAGUEABILTY is an adaptive game of rugby league that has been designed to allow people of all abilities to play, volunteer and coach. The programs platform allows us to foster a community that promotes genuine engagement, opportunities and inclusivity while raising community awareness and their value of inclusive actions in sport.
After the inaugural season in 2018, the Leagueability program has become the first Disability Rugby League Program in Australia to provide a competition for both men and women. The program has grown into three teams – Physical Disability, Intellectual Disability and All Abilities.
There has been significant growth in the program since its inception. Each player that has pulled on a Gold Coast Titans jersey has been welcomed into the Club and its legacy.
This is a weekly program where players learn the skills and fundamentals of rugby league. The program works on coordination and teamwork in a fun and supportive environment. Players are given the chance to play games across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers, including matches at Cbus Super Stadium.

Dennis & Ethan: International Day of Persons with a Disability
“This gives me Goosebumps just watching. I have a girl with special needs who struggles each day at school and life in general just trying to find her place. So good to see great things like this that the Titans are doing. Please keep up this great work!”
