ABOUT

Pride

We have a long history with the community of Shellharbour.
The Stingrays began in 1962 when Rugby League was first introduced into Stella Maris School, Shellharbour.
In 2002 the Stingrays JRLFC Shellharbour was formed.
In 2014 the Stingrays RLFC Shellharbour was formed, with the expansion into the South Coast Group 7 Senior League.
The junior and senior clubs work closely together to ensure that the Stingrays is available to nurture the growth of our youth and committed rugby league players.

The support of both clubs will ensure that the Stingrays brand is successful and prosperous into the future.
In a short period of time, we have built on our reputation and grown our senior Stingrays teams to field 9 teams in 2021.
- Mens First Grade
- Mens Reserve Grade
- Mens Third Grade
- Mens Under 18s
- Ladies Tackle
- Ladies League Tag (LLT1)
- Ladies League Tag (LLT2)

The rapid expansion of our senior teams now requires us to seek out an alternative ground/playing field to share the usage loads on the current playing fields at Flinders Reserve, and to support the growth of the Stingrays RLFC.
The Flinders Reserve has limited opportunities for any significant development for both the junior and senior teams. The primary purpose of the reserve is a storm water detention basin, with the provision for dual usage for open space and recreational activities.
We are now ready to explore alternative opportunities for the Senior teams that meet the requirements for a successful sports club, including:
- A grade standard and dimensioned rugby league playing surface.
- Additional space and area for training facilities.
- Adequate spatial area to build an amenities building, Stingrays Club house and function building, car parking and storage.
- Appropriate fencing to secure and control crowd attendances.
- Consideration of adjoining neighbours, access and conflicting land uses.
