Establishing a youth section within your club can be very rewarding.  It can bring new people into the sport and your club, not just players but coaches and volunteers too.  It is a way to cement the club’s position inside the community and enlist the help of parents and teachers as well as become a route to funding and other support such as access to facilities.

These may include access to the Youth Legacy Fund, invitations to any national youth competitions and the Youth Academy. The legacy fund it aims to support clubs and regions develop opportunities for young people to play Touch. This fund can be used to support one-off activities or tournaments, festivals, coaching and CPD sessions, refereeing courses or resource creation.

You can apply for a maximum of £250.

Please see the Legacy Fund Guidance for applicants. If you are interested in applying for this money, please complete the application form.
