Club Breaks New Ground With Its Player Bursary Scheme

Worplesdon Rangers FC today launched its first ever Player Bursary Scheme, as part of its ongoing 2020 Club Development Strategy.

Commented Club Secretary, Clare Jones on today’s launch: ‘Each season, the Bursary Scheme will benefit a number of players from the senior end of the age groups within the Club, as a way of thanking them for their service to Worplesdon Rangers FC and ensuring that as a Club, we do our bit to keep young footballing talent engaged with the game”.

The Club will award its first bursaries later this autumn and will target FA Level 1 and refereeing courses in the first instance.

Sean Crooke, WRFC Club Development Officer added: ‘This is a first for Worplesdon Rangers FC and an important aspect of the Club’s 2020 Development Strategy, aimed at retaining more senior players in the game.  If the scheme is a success, we hope to be able to finance it in subsequent seasons through specialist sponsorship.  It’s a great example of how we can give something back to players who have served their Club so well’.

Closing date for 2016/7 applications is the 31st October 2016.
