About Us

This is the dream of some very dedicated and patient men.
Michael Ryan, the former president of the club.
PT the head coach, and Darren the assistant coach.
August of 2007 saw the first training session for the Sharks. We were at a tiny, unkempt reserve that was accessed from Dampier Blvd in Killarney vale.
After running some laps and some drills, the coaches went through some basis ball skills of the game.
Once the players understood the reasoning behind the running routes and ball handling techniques, the training sessions flowed well. Players were quick to learn that lack of attention or chatting to much would earn them push ups, laps or bear crawls.
After a few months we upgraded to the rugby field located on Sir Joseph Banks Dr in Bateau Bay. Our numbers varied but with a good base of a regular 15- 20 with one female. Many players showing great promise lots of heart, and a unique dedication to a sport that is not native to Australia.
A 3 on 3 flag tournament , put all the drills and training routes into perspective for the players along with building a strong team spirit amongst the players.
2008 saw the loss of a few regulars, and renewed dedication from our other players. Thier female player (Jane Spain) joined the coaching staff and worked with the juniors, getting thier playbook down and working as a team. During the winter we took to training in the Gym with Mingara looking after our needs.
