Our Beginnings
Iron Tigers started with a small group of athletes who joined our very first academy sessions and helped shape the culture of the club in its earliest days.
These players trained when the program was just getting started and are still representing Iron Tigers teams today. In recognition of their loyalty and contribution to the club’s journey, they have been recognised as our Foundation Squad.
Let’s elevate the game together!
