Lorne Boswell : President Stirling County Rugby Football Club.

“The Stirling County Academy is a fantastic initiative that the whole club should be proud

of. It is designed to enable those who have the commitment to achieve their potential, no matter what level. It has been admired from across the country and is now being copied. Imitation is the highest form of flattery!

For our young members, the benefits of achieving something through application will stay with them always, not just on the rugby field.Not all will become internationalists, not all will stay playing rugby, but when they look back on their time in the academy, they will all realise how positive an experience it was.

This year has been a really exciting year for some of the talented players who have been emerging from Stirling. Both Megan Kennedy and Siobhan Cattigan have outclassed their elder brothers by earning full caps for Scotland.

Logan Trotter represented Scotland at the U20 World cup and earned a Stage 3 contract with Glasgow and Evie Gallagher was called up to the Scotland Women's S7s. There are many other boys and girls already climbing the representative ladder. Well done to all of them

That makes me Red, White, Black and Proud!”

We at Kilgannon Motors are proud to support these objectives of the Rugby Academy at Bridgehaugh.”

Jamie added “Many of the Club’s young players have gone on to play in the top flight of club rugby and have risen to even higher levels in the sport, playing for professional clubs and representing Scotland at international level. We hope we can help County’s Academy provide many more rugby stars of the future.”

The innovative “passing something back “ scheme is available to all club members who buy a car or book a service with Kilgannon. This means that not only do you get excellent service, the club benefits with a cash back scheme.

As part of Stirling County’s dedication to giving our young athletes the opportunity to progress in their

chose sport we offer our Player / Performance Development Programme (PDP).

For our Player Development Programme, we offer all of our S2 & U15 players to sign up to PDP

sessions where they receive additional skills, specialist skills and strength & conditioning sessions

throughout the season along with sessions in sports nutrition and sport psychology.

Within our Performance Programme, we operate at 4 tiers where players will receive anything from 2

to 5 practical sessions per week in rugby and S&C with nutritional and psychological support. Players

are selected on merits of current performance and future potential with a great emphasise on the

qualities of the person and not just the rugby player.

For our top-level players, they receive individual performance development plans, going into detail on their

individual rugby, strength & conditioning (S&C), psychological, nutritional and lifestyle needs. This will be

achieved with set goals within team training session, positional and unit specialist skills sessions, dedicated

PDP S&C sessions, individual meetings with performance coach, sports psychologist and sports nutritionist.
