The Dandenong Stingrays are an Australian rules football team in a Victorian under 18s league called the TAC Cup.
1992 saw the birth of the ‘Southern Stingrays’ and they were developed under the leadership of Steve Kennedy (Regional Manager) and Ron Roach (Promotions Manager) with the home base located at the Ben Kavanagh Reserve, Mordialloc. The side is coached in the inaugural year by Peter Russo.
In 1995 the club moved from Mordialloc to Dandenong and it also changed its name to the Dandenong Southern Stingrays. The club is currently under the leadership of Mark Wheeler (Region Development Manager) with the home base located at Shepley Oval, Dandenong. The side is coached by Craig Black.
The Stingrays have been involved in the TAC Cup since the competition's first season in 1992.
