The St George Illawarra Dragons recently completed a three-day visit along the Far South Coast, where they delivered their 'The Best You Can Be' Health and Wellbeing program.
According to dragons.com.au, NRLW players Tara McGrath-West and Keele Browne joined community staff on this visit to 9 local primary schools.
The main focus of their visit was to deliver wellbeing messages, with an emphasis on resilience, nutrition, and fitness.
In addition to the school visits, the female players also attended a 'come and try' clinic in Bega.
This clinic was open to girls aged 11-16 who were interested in playing tackle rugby league.
The purpose of this clinic was to prepare the girls for the upcoming Group 16 November 9s competition.
McGrath-West and Browne took the opportunity to speak to all the girls present, expressing their excitement about the growth and enthusiasm surrounding Women's Rugby League.
They also encouraged the girls to make the most of the opportunities available to them now, opportunities that were not present a few years ago.
This visit to the Far South Coast followed several previous visits to schools across Wollongong and St George.
The Dragons' 'The Best You Can Be' program has been delivered as far south as Delegate and as far north as St George.
