Help Annalise Chase Her Rugby Dream

Fresh off a successful Nations United Rugby Tournament in Japan, 15-year-old Annalise Ridgill is proving that talent, hard work, and determination can turn big dreams into reality.

Remarkably, Annalise has only been playing rugby union for four years, yet in that short time she has already:

And now, her journey takes another leap forward. In early 2026, Annalise has been invited to an elite U.S. training academy — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will push her closer to her ultimate goal: representing Australia in Rugby Sevens at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.

But dreams like this come at a cost. The U.S. trip alone is approximately $8,000, and every tournament and development step adds significant financial pressure. Like many young athletes, Annalise relies on the generosity of her community to keep her dream alive.
