Grassroots to Greatness — developing players, people and future Easts leadersThe Tigers Pathway Program is Easts Rugby Union’s long-term commitment to supporting the development, wellbeing and education of young people through community rugby.Built under our Grassroots to Greatness strategy, the program provides a structured pathway for young players progressing from school and junior rugby into Colts, senior rugby and broader community leadership opportunities.Importantly, the Tigers Pathway Program is about far more than athletic performance. The program is designed to help young people build confidence, resilience, leadership capability, wellbeing awareness and life skills that support positive outcomes both on and off the field.Through mentoring, education and personal development opportunities, the program aims to create a safe, supportive and values-driven environment where young people can grow as players, teammates and members of the wider community.Your donation will help Easts deliver a sustainable development program that supports young people through education, wellbeing initiatives, mentoring and community connection alongside rugby participation.
