More primary school children are training for free with Jersey Bulls.

St Saviour's School has joined the Jersey Bulls Community Foundation's After School Support programme.

It began last October with Ogier sponsoring football sessions for Year 4 pupils at Rouge Bouillon.

Now, JTC - which is the club's main kit sponsor - is backing the coaching for boys and girls at St Saviour's.

All the children taking part have also received a Foundation-branded sports top and match day tickets to see the Jersey Bulls at Springfield.

Foundation Chair, Danny Cole, said:

"We are thrilled to be able to build on the initial success of the After School Support Programme and be able to offer this scheme to St Saviour's School. This is a much needed sporting resource for pupils to experience high level coaching whilst their families benefit from a free after school club."

Kirstie Willians, Headteacher at St Saviour's, says the school is 'really honoured' to be offered the opportunity to take part.

"The pupils involved are excited and enjoying their sessions.

"They are very respectful to the coach, keen to learn from him and progress their skills during the sessions. We are passionate about community at St Saviour's School and are delighted to be involved in this project, building a community more broadly than our school."

Nigel Le Quesne, CEO, JTC, added; "It's been wonderful to hear about the positive benefits the programme has already brought to St Saviour's pupils and their families."
