After school football programme expanded in Jersey

A second school has joined a free after school football programme.

Jersey Bulls Foundation began working with Rouge Bouillon Primary School in the autumn to offer pupils the chance to take part in structured training sessions with a qualified club coach.

St Saviour Primary School has since been added to the After School Support Programme.

Foundation chair Danny Cole said he was "thrilled to build on the initial success" of the first club.

"This is a much needed sporting resource for pupils to experience high level coaching while their families benefit from a free after school club," he said.

The programme is sponsored by the fund company JTC Group.

JTC CEO Nigel Le Quesne said: "Through our expanded partnership with the club, we're proud to be able to help create opportunities for young people to maximise their potential.

"It's been wonderful to hear about the positive benefits the programme has already brought to St Saviour's pupils and their families."
