THE Bankier Primary School-based Falkirk in the Community football centre has been given a massive boost after EVERY boy and girl who attends received free kits.
Sponsored by JAD Homes, the centre is already free of charge for local youngsters who live in the Denny and Bonnybridge area.

Sessions are delivered every Sunday afternoon by Falkirk in the Community coaches using the Coerver coaching pyramid of p
layer development.

John Penman, managing director of JAD Homes, said: "I think Falkirk's youth system and their involvement in the community is second to none.

"The club is certainly a community minded one and that is why JAD Homes, a local company, are so heavily involved with them.

"To work alongside Falkirk, and the community, is something that is – as a business – very close to our hearts."

Mr Penman, himself a former pupil of Bankier Primary, returned to the school to see the young players in their new kits.

"It was brilliant to watch the youngsters running around in their new gear with the Falkirk badge and JAD logo on them."

Tom Elliott, head of community coaching, added: "It is a fantastic gesture from JAD Homes to provide every boy and girl with a free football kit for our football centre at Bankier Primary School.

"The boys and girls look great in their new gear and we would like to thank John Penman for his continued support for the FITC programme."
