The Sharks pathway is designed to take players from their very first football steps right through to senior football:
Skills Academy (SSA): Ages 5–12, open to all players, foundation skills and enjoyment.
Sharks Development Squad (SDS): Ages 7–12, advanced training while still playing grassroots football, preparing for JDL.
Junior Development League (JDL): U9–U12 representative teams, in-area players only.
Youth League: U13–U18 representative teams, highest level of youth football in NSW.
Seniors: Opportunities to progress into Sharks first grade or other senior squads.
At every stage, the program is designed to provide the right environment for development, with qualified coaches, excellent facilities, and clear progression opportunities.
