Greenies Grommets is an 8 week junior participation program run by Merewether Carlton Rugby Club, aimed at 2-6 year olds.

In this video, co-founder of the program James Callahan shares an extremely detailed overview of Greenies Grommets including its background and how they've refined it over its seven year history, including:

• Why they started Greenies Grommets
• Duration and when they conduct it
• Participation numbers
• Registration platform and process
• How it is funded
• Insurance
• The impact the program has had on the rugby club participation numbers

This is a wonderful example of a successful program that you may be able to adopt as part of your club's recruitment and participation strategy, whether you implement it in its entirety or just take a small bit of information from Merewether Carlton's experience to enhance your existing program.
