NRL Victoria's junior competition went from strength to strength in 2024, with the year celebrated at the very first Storm Junior League Awards.
2024 proved to be a record-breaking year for Melbourne Storm Junior League, with 5,589 participants taking part across junior and senior competitions statewide. 19 Metro clubs entered junior teams this season, with 12 divisions – the highest number to date.
