NSDCC has some of the best outdoor turf net facilities in Sydney located a short distance from North Sydney station. Bon Andrews will be getting a $400,000 upgrade at the end of the season and the training facility will be at a first class level.
NSDCC is working with CNSW on an indoor facility initiative which we hope to unveil next season.

12. Expectations
Pathway players are entering a commitment to be available for the season. Neither club can afford to waste scarce resources on players who are unavailable for selection.
If players are unavailable they must communicate this with their registered club at least one match prior to selections (unless unavoidable and in that event ASAP).
Players habitually unavailable will be cut from the Pathway squad.
Players are expected to train to improve and under the instruction of the coaching staff.
