Mega Waves

Mega Waves is a free rugby league skills program for students with disability, with an emphasis on learning the basics of footy in a fun and supported environment. Schools are booked in on a termly basis for a program involving four one-hour rugby league skills sessions across eight weeks for a group of 15 participants with disability.

Schools are encouraged to have five mainstream participants who play rugby league also join the program to assist participants and facilitate cohesion while promoting inclusivity and program success.

Participants will learn the basics of rugby league including passing, catching and kicking with the opportunity to practise their fine and gross motor skills. Participants will also be provided with an opportunity to work collaboratively as a team, try new things and practise their interpersonal skills.

Score Sharks

The Cronulla Sharks have partnered with The Disability Trust to initiate a new community program in 2024 - Score Sharks. Score Sharks is run as a Sport and Recreation Program by The Disability Trust under the NDIS scheme.

The program gives people aged 16 and over with disability the opportunity to play as a Shark in a modified version of rugby league. The program is run on a termly basis and involves a weekly training session where members will be able to work on their football and social skills.
