ACL Health for Females
The Carlingford Cougars girls are participating in a world’s first research into ACL Health for females.
New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) is supporting groundbreaking research led by the University of New England (UNE) aimed at improving the understanding of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) health in young female Rugby League players.
We look forward to sharing more as the research continues during the 2026 season.
