St George currently manage, fund and administer teams competing in the Harold Mathews, SG Ball, Tarsha Gale and Lisa Fiaola NSWRL competitions in addition to development squads for youth between 14 and 18.However, our mission is to seek to provide even more pathway opportunities for male and female players in our region, and we have plans in place to extend both our male and female programs into further state-based competitions. This will require significant additional investment into player development programs as well as ensuring that the facilities available to our male and female athletes provide them with the best opportunity to succeed. There is an immediate and ongoing requirement to improve and upgrade athlete training facilities. Technology moves faster than anyone can anticipate, and we want to provide cutting edge facilities for our players, coaches and support staff to ensure our club is at the pinnacle of athlete development.You have the opportunity to assist us with developing and maintaining the benchmark facilities and programs required for the club and our representative teams to perform continuously at our peak, and to continue to provide elite pathway opportunities with the Dragons.
