Pathways & advancement
Youth players are part of a clear development pathway into our Colts (U19s), QFA Division 1 Women’s, and QAFL Men’s teams. We also support continued football through QFA and Masters teams.
Support structure
Our club runs on the support of amazing volunteers, from coaches and managers to timekeepers and canteen helpers, and we always welcome parents and carers to get involved and help our teams run smoothly. Our coaching team provides feedback, fitness guidance, and leadership opportunities to help every player reach their potential.

Play On! Sports Vouchers:
If you’re a Queensland parent, carer or guardian, you can apply for a voucher of up to $200 for your child to use for sporting memberships, registration or participation fees with a registered activity provider.
Pathways & Development
We also offer a Sharks Development Program, giving youth players the chance to build their leadership, fitness, and game awareness in an elite environment. Our players take part in wellbeing initiatives covering mental health, leadership, and social responsibility.
As part of the broader Sharks sporting family, our junior players are also connected to the Redland-Victoria Point Senior Club, who compete at the top level in Queensland through the QAFL. For aspiring players, this pathway creates a clear line from grassroots to state-level competition right here in our own backyard.
