Raiders Growing The Game
Barrow is steeped in Rugby League tradition, and we want to build on the previous successes of Barrow Raiders to ensure Barrow is put back firmly on the map in terms of Rugby League success.
Our ambition is to support our fantastic local community Rugby League clubs by using funding from the RFL and Boost Charitable Trust to grow participation numbers in age groups of need. In addition to this, we are developing the love of the game and creating opportunities amongst girls and women, adults with learning disabilities and our older participants.
Silver Raiders walking rugby team, Raider Girls rugby development squad, Raider Braves, Able Raiders LD super league team, Barrow Raiders Ladies reserves and the 16-19 strength and conditioning squad, are all benefitting from Advantage! coaching and laying the foundations for the rapid expansion of the game of rugby league in our area.
There are now clear pathways developing to both the men and ladies teams, with our community club structure, Raider Braves, the JETS programme and Furness Raiders feeding into the Barrow Raiders squad, and Raider Girls Futures Programme, community clubs running girls teams such as Hindpool Tigresses, the 16-19 S&C squad, the Barrow Ladies reserves, all feeding into Barrow Raiders Ladies Super League Squad.
Thank you to funding from the RFL, via the Futures Programme for the girls and RL Survival Fund grants, via Sport England, as well as funding from Boost Charitable Trust, supporting our provision and delivery of Raider Girls, Raider Braves, and secondary school after school coaching, to develop skills and confidence, and unlock potential
