Glen Innes has been named our June Club of the Month in recognition of its outstanding commitment to inclusion, community engagement, and participation at every level of the game.
Operating in a regional area comes with unique challenges, from attracting and retaining players to managing resources and supporting volunteers.
Despite these obstacles, Glen Innes has worked tirelessly to create a welcoming, affordable, and family-friendly environment where everyone feels valued and encouraged to get involved.
Their dedication to removing barriers to participation has helped the club grow while ensuring rugby league remains accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
A standout achievement has been the club’s success in driving female participation, creating opportunities for women and girls to be involved in the game both on and off the field.
By fostering a culture of respect, support, and inclusivity, Glen Innes has built an environment where players can develop their skills, form lasting friendships, and feel a true sense of belonging within the club community.
Beyond match days, the club continues to strengthen community connections through a range of initiatives that bring people together.
Community BBQs provide opportunities for families, players, and supporters to connect, while volunteer appreciation events recognise the countless hours contributed by the people who keep the club running.
These efforts not only celebrate those involved but also reinforce the strong community spirit that sits at the heart of the club.
Glen Innes understands that a successful club is about more than results on the scoreboard.
By prioritising inclusion, supporting volunteers, investing in participation, and creating meaningful opportunities for connection, they have established themselves as a vital part of their local community.
Their impact extends far beyond the field, helping to create positive experiences, stronger relationships, and a welcoming sporting environment for everyone.
Congratulations to Glen Innes on being named our June Club of the Month - a well-deserved recognition of the passion, dedication, and community spirit that continues to make a lasting difference both on and off the field.
