Graham Lindsay has recently taken up post as the new Rugby Development Officer for the Falkirk area. Graham is currently working with two SVQ apprentices, Christian Wallace and Emma Stark.
The Rugby Development Programme involves working closely with Falkirk and Grangemouth Rugby Clubs, Active Schools and SVQ rugby apprentice, Gary Dempsey, to provide primary and secondary pupils with an opportunity to get a taste for the game.
Please note that these sessions and courses must be pre-booked by contacting Sports Development. Unfortunately, we cannot accept people onto the course unless they have pre-booked.
