Schools to benefit from rugby league coaching...

THE work in primary and secondary schools continues this term for the Bradford Bulls Foundation through the Sky Try programme.

Sky Try is a seven-year initiative that will support and develop grassroots participation of the sport across the UK.

It will reach over 100,000 people of all ages each year with the intention of increasing the number of people regularly involved in community clubs or as spectators and viewers.

Over the coming weeks, Foundation development officers will be working with 25 local schools, which will see 1,500 children benefit from rugby and healthy lifestyle coaching.

Schools will also receive visits from Bulls first team players who will offer advice and support. All participants will receive an invitation to attend a Bulls home game.

Schools receiving the coaching this year include: Ryecroft Academy, Foxhill Primary, Merlin Top Primary, Sandal Primary, Saltaire Primary, Myrtle Park Primary and Fearnville Primary.
