Our Services

Player Development

Our Player Development Programme focuses on the holistic personal growth of our professional rugby players, equipping them with skills for life beyond the sport.

The programme includes six pillars: Personal Mastery (developing personal plans and improving self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and mindset), Vulnerabilities (addressing personal challenges), Career and Education (offering career guidance, bursaries, internships, and job readiness support), Life Skills, Mental Health and Transition to life after rugby.

Industrial

The MyPlayers Industrial Association (MPIA) is the official registered trade union of our players. MPIA, an entity of MyPlayers, takes care of the players’ primary employment needs both on national and provincial level.

Agreements

On behalf of all the players, MPIA negotiated their employment needs and conditions, which are set out in the following agreements:

Download SA Industry Collective Agreement

SARICA Agreement
Remuneration Agreement
(Only applicable to all national teams which include the Springboks; the Springbok Sevens; the Springbok Women’s Sevens and the SA A-team).

Commercial Division

The MyPlayers Commercial division manages the collective commercial rights of players, ensuring their interests are protected when their image or likeness is used for financial gain. These rights apply when three or more players in team gear are featured by a third party for commercial purposes. Through the Players’ Trust, players license the management of these rights, guaranteeing that any revenue generated is fairly distributed to the rightful holders.

Player Affairs

Player Affairs focuses on building and maintaining strong relationships between players and the players’ organisation, acting as the primary point of contact for player-related matters. This division conducts regular visits to teams, offers advice and representation on employment issues, manages communication with player representatives, and assists with disciplinary hearings, including on-field citings and doping cases. Additionally, it informs players about relevant legislation, regulations, agents, and available benefits, while also overseeing the distribution of the Players’ Charity funds.

Financial Services

The Financial Services division supports professional rugby players by managing their financial needs and risks through a range of group products. This includes Injury Benefits to cover income during injury, GAP Cover for in-hospital shortfalls, and contributions to the Players’ Pension Fund for retirement savings. Players also receive access to Financial and Tax Advisory Panels, medical aid options with exclusive benefits, Life Cover through Momentum Corporate, and tailored Car and Home Insurance solutions via Ctrl, a user-friendly insurance platform.
