The initiative, proudly provided by St George Leagues Club and supported by St George District Rugby League Football Club, continues the district\u2019s commitment to keeping rugby league inclusive, affordable, and community focused.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt St George Leagues Club, we\u2019re proud to continue supporting the next generation of players,\u201d St George Leagues Club CEO Craig Epton said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFree registration and player subsidies take away barriers and help kids enjoy all the benefits that come from being part of a team \u2013 connection, confidence, and fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Junior rugby league provides children with the chance to develop new skills, make new friends, and enjoy the physical and social benefits of being part of a team environment.<\/p>\n
For families juggling multiple registrations, the support is significant. Natalie, an Arncliffe Scots mum with seven children playing the game, said the initiative has been a game-changer for her household.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe free rego and female tackle support makes things so much easier for families,\u201d Natalie said.<\/p>\n
