Colwyn Bay Rugby Club Kitted Out In New Tracksuits

Colwyn Bay Rugby Club Under-10s had club shirts to wear during matches but only their own clothes to wear before and after the games. This included travelling to and from away games. The club felt there was no uniformity to their clothes and were interested in investing in matching clothes for the team.

Thanks to money raised from the club’s fund-raising activities and £500 from Crest Co-operative’s ‘Crest Community Fund’ the club were able to purchase matching tracksuits for the players and the coaching staff. These tracksuits are branded with the club name and also the individual player’s name.

The players and staff will be able to wear their tracksuits every week for training and for their weekly matches both at home and away. The tracksuits will also help with the club’s aim of promoting a sense of discipline that will progress with the children through their future years.

The tracksuits will promote a ‘sense of pride and belonging’ at their home games and will help their confidence in their away games and also when the club goes away on rugby tours. The tracksuits will help to make the players proud to be part of the team and have personal pride in what they are wearing whilst away on tour.

The club are planning their first rugby tour in early 2014.
