The side, captain/coached by Kristie Lee Dickson, will play four games at Artie Smith Oval – with games also being played at West Street Oval.
“Most of the team are playing there first game on Saturday and they are all really excited and looking forward to the day,” Dickson said.
“Expectations are to go out there and try our best, while learning more about the game – so we can identify areas that need improvement.”
The Tigers will first take to the field at 9.35am against Northern Districts, before clashes with a combined Dapto and Ulladulla side (11.50am), Wollongong Saints (2.10pm) and University of Wollongong Bulldogs (3.20pm).
The women’s draw will also contain a women’s Nowra/Albatross Vikings side, who will play four matches at West Street Oval.
The men’s draw includes teams from Port Kembla, Nowra/Albatross, Northern Districts, Dapto and two Bulldogs sides.
Both Shoalhaven grounds will have 12 games played on them, running non-stop from 9.30am to 4.20pm.
During the games of two 10 minute halves, each team can only have 16 players on the field, but have an unlimited interchange.
Other rules include; opposition gets kick in if ball goes out off player, kick ins happen regardless of score kicked and ball ups only happen at start of each half.
