There is an amount of confusion and/or misunderstanding about Sydney AFL’s Pathway Policy. At St George we consider it to be only one factor in a player from a local junior club deciding whether he wants to join the Dragons as an Under 18 player.
All Under 16 players will be invited to train with the Dragons this pre-season either as a pre-cursor to playing Under 18’s with us or as some additional coaching/mentoring for their next season in the Under 16’s. St George welcomes all new players, particularly from the local junior ranks. Under 16s are always welcome to attend u/18r training throughout the year should they wish.
We will be in contact with your clubs about pre-season training and other initiatives to foster closer relationships between our juniors and your senior club.
