Nottingham Rugby has delivered a programme of support within North Nottinghamshire on behalf of Hall-Fast which links primary and secondary schools to local rugby clubs and a variety of events including the Ashfield and Nottinghamshire shows.
Hall-Fast has provided the funding for this programme which it hopes will encourage youngsters to enjoy sport, help tackle a growing childhood obesity problem and more importantly show teenagers how to broaden their horizons, raise their aspirations and learn new skills.
In addition coaching sessions have been delivered for children at the Fountaindale School, with a focus on movement and fun activities using rugby where appropriate over an eight week period.
Twenty two schools have received support, and several local players, namely Ryan Hough, Tom Calladine, Rupert Cooper and James Stokes have worked with the young people.
