SOUTHS JUNIORS 2023 AND FOUNDATION LAUNCH

The Junior League season kicked off at the beginning of April. Across our 16 clubs we have over 2,800 Players registered. We have seen significant growth in comparison to where we were at this stage last year. This number will increase to over 3,000 as we get towards the June 30th registration cut off. There is a great mix of female and male competitions again this year and our season is set up to be a great success.

The Juniors Group of Clubs proudly supports Souths Juniors and funds players from 6 years - adults to play Rugby League for free. We believe we truly support grassroots Rugby League and are a leading organisation in junior sport.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense to establish the Souths Juniors Foundation which is currently being set-up to continue to provide these opportunities and improve on what we currently do.

The foundation will consist of five key pillars:

• Junior Bunnies Academy

• Elite Player Development

• Female Participation and Pathways

• Souths Juniors A Grade Competition

• Brain-Health Awareness and Return to Play Program

The foundation will have a group of high-profile Rugby League ambassadors and will be officially launched on 14th July.

More information will be announced shortly on how our members can be involved as foundation members.
