The Sharks are now inviting applications to trial for the club's 2027 male and female Junior Representative squads.
Trials for the Harold Matthews (male under 17s), SG Ball (male under 19s), Lisa Fiaola (female under 17s) and Tarsha Gale (female under 19s) squads will take place in September. Please see following trial dates and more detail.
Submitting an application does not guarantee participation in the trials, with successful applicants to be contacted via email with further information, including venue, timings and what to bring on the day.
Renowned as a pathways club, Cronulla’s junior representative teams were competitive in their respective competitions during the 2026 season, the highlight being the performance of the women’s Tarsha Gale side, which won their way through to the Grand Final.
The Lisa Fiaola team also qualified for the competition finals, before bowing out after a one-point loss in week one of the Finals.
The SG Ball and Matthews Cup Sharks teams both narrowly missed the 2026 finals, despite recording some impressive wins against highly rated opposition throughout the season.
The Sharks are also taking expressions of interest for 2027 staff roles including coaches, sports trainers, physiotherapists, equipment coordinators, strength and conditioning coaches, team managers and ground announcers/timekeepers.
Interviews are by invitation only. See link to application below.
Please email [email protected] all enquiries relating to the male and female pathways.
