Every club has a beginning.

Before the teams, before the competitions, and before Iron Tigers became the program it is today, there was a small group of athletes and families who believed in the vision from the very start.

Our Foundation Squad represents the players who joined Iron Tigers in its earliest academy sessions and are still representing the club today. They trained when the program was new, helped shape the culture that exists now, and grew alongside the club as it developed.

Their commitment, attitude and willingness to be part of something new helped lay the foundations for what Iron Tigers has become.

In recognition of their loyalty and contribution to the club’s journey, these athletes have been recognised as Foundation Tigers.

This is a one-time honour that recognises the players who were there at the beginning of the Iron Tigers story.
