Grassroots & Game Development /

It’s where the dream begins. We continue to support and deliver several opportunities for our Junior League and school participants to engage with the Wests Tigers and strive towards living healthy and active lives.

Back to the Juniors Program

Our ‘Back to the Juniors’ program involves Wests Tigers NRL and NRLW squad members visiting all 36 Junior League clubs from Balmain, Wests Tigers Macarthur conference regions, which includes Group 6 and Wests Tigers Macarthur.

This program is designed and facilitated by community staff to ensure our NRL & NRLW players build a connection with our grassroots junior league players and volunteers, ensuring that the 'Wests Tigers way' is sustained.

This program is exclusive to Wests Tigers Junior League clubs only.
