"Please rest assured our game of rugby league is safe for our juniors," spokesperson from the club Marie Bell said.
"Junior players are set to thrive in the new season.
"We are excited as the season will see both new and old faces register."
The club's registration day is on Saturday, February 23 at Club North Haven.
Marie said female participation in the sport is growing and group 3 will allow the creation of a tackle team for U16 girls.
"It’s a six week competition and played on a separate day from league tag, so girls will have the opportunity to play both," she said.
Marie said the club is passionate about the growth of juniors from around the Camden Haven area.
"We need to build and join together as a community and support all rugby league clubs," she said.
"We want to ensure the future of league is available to everyone who wants to participate."
Club girls coordinator and advocate for the Kendall Blues Ladies Rugby League Shanene Matthews said she is contactable if females have any questions about joining.
"The women's league is open to all girls and woman with all ages and experience," she said.
"This is for all the women, mothers, or any female over the age of 17-years-old who are interested in rugby league."
On Saturday, February 23 U6 to U10s are welcome to register from 10am till 12pm. The U11s to U16s and league tag can register from 1pm till 3pm.
