100,000 grant helps Rugby Town JFC refurbish new club house – Take Part | The FA

A 100,000 grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund helped Rugby Town JFC to open a new clubroom last week.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan was present at the club’s Kilsby Lane home to cut the ribbon on the refurbished facility, which now features kitchen and bar facilities, a projector for team briefings and coach education sessions and a lounge area.

And the club, which runs 52 boys and girls teams, will now work closely with the Birmingham FA to deliver a wide range of FA coach education courses at the site, which also hosts 11 grass pitches.

In addition to the new clubroom, the club will also extend the existing car park, purchase new pitch maintenance equipment and create two junior real grass pitches with proper drainage systems.

The club worked in partnership with the Birmingham FA to secure the grant from the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund.
