Sydney Roosters and Matraville Sports High School to Continue Pathways Relationship

The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce a brand new agreement with Matraville Sports High School that will continue to strengthen the Club’s Pathways Programs.

For over a decade, Matraville Sports High School has acted as a training base and produced a number of representatives through the Club’s Elite Pathways system who have graduated to both the NRL and NRLW competitions.

We’ve had a great relationship with the school, and we’re pleased to have finalised an agreement for our pathways, in particular our female pathways, which continue to grow at a meteoric rate.

While the new Memorandum of Understanding has a strong focus on the female pathways, most notably the Sydney Roosters Indigenous Academy Tarsha Gale Cup Under 19s side, the Club will still continue to introduce male players through the Harold Matthews Cup and SG Ball Cup competitions. 

“We have trained all our teams from our pathways programs out of Matraville Sports High School for over the last six years,” said Head of Pathways, Blake Cavallaro.

“So far, we have had a number of players join the Club’s Pathways, some of whom were part of the 2022 Tarsha Gale Cup Premiership-winning side. We’re looking to create a more unique pathway where we provide students the opportunity to play grassroots football while at school and represent the Sydney Roosters. 

“We’ve had a great relationship with the school, and we’re pleased to have finalised an agreement for our pathways, in particular our female pathways, which continue to grow at a meteoric rate.”
