Dragons Program

The Dragons Development Program is designed for those who wish to have fun and improve/develop their skills for state team trials later in the year. In the past, this program has provided a valuable stepping stone for all participants to achieve their goals. This program is tailor-made for the participants and adapted to their individual goals. It's also been called the Dragons Academy or Dragons Camp - the name doesn't matter really. It's all about developing our softball players - keeping them motivated and determined to enjoy their game more by improving their skills.

We are always on the lookout for coaches who are keen to help develop the junior athletes throughout our state and their craft as coaches. The program and camp is a great chance for any coach, new or experienced, to work alongside each other to improve current knowledge and learn about the current contemporary trends in our sport. There are basic requirements to be a Dragons Coach, however no accreditations are needed as these can gained through the program. It is also the perfect entry point for any potential future state coaches out there to see what our elite pathway is all about. Past Dragons Participants are encouraged to pass on their skills and love of the game as Coaches.
