🏉 SENIOR RUGBY IS BACK! 🏉

This Saturday our Senior Squad are back out there representing Folkestone Rugby Club as they travel to face Sheppey away.

📅 Saturday
⏰ 2.30pm KO
📍 Sheppey (A)

It’s great to finally get back out on the pitch, pull on the shirt and represent the club.

If you can make the trip, support from the sidelines would be greatly appreciated! 📣

Good luck to all the players and coaches

Onwards and Upwards!

🏉 INVESTING IN OUR COACHES. INVESTING IN OUR PLAYERS.

What an evening at Folkestone Rugby Club, showing the dedication and commitment of our Junior Section volunteer coaches.

We were delighted to welcome Dan Cottrell from Rugby Coach Weekly to the club to deliver a fantastic CPD evening, sharing ideas, knowledge and practical coaching approaches with our team.

👏 Coaches from every age group, U5 through to U15, were represented, giving up their own time to learn, develop and ultimately provide an even better rugby experience for our young players.

A huge thank you to Dan and Rugby Coach Weekly for an engaging and thought-provoking session, and an even bigger thank you to our coaches.

They are all volunteers. They give up evenings, weekends and countless hours behind the scenes because they care about developing our young players and creating the best possible environment at Folkestone Rugby Club.

Great coaches create great environments, and great environments help young people thrive.

Proud of the team. 💚🤍
