INTRODUCTION
The Blackpool Panthers Community Development
Programme is aiming to become one of the best in not
only the rugby world but in any sport.
At its launch in April 2005 it set out a clear goal
to serve the community and bring Rugby League to an
ever-increasing audience.
The wide range of expertise within the department
will facilitate a diverse programme that serves all
sections of the community both young and old, on
topics such as education, health & fitness awareness
and providing sporting access.

entertainment for a family audience, which is not
limited by age, race, disablement, gender, colour,
creed or geographical location.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
The Player Development role at the Club
has many facets, and as such, plays an integral part
of the Club’s commitment to the community. The
department aims to create an interest in sport,
introducing and developing individuals from as wide
a target audience as is possible. Through this
involvement, future stars, administrators and fans
are all given their first taste of Rugby League.
The club is not isolated in its development
activities, establishing a number of successful
partnerships. Strong long-term practical
relationships with Blackpool Borough Council,
Blackpool Local Education Authority, Blackpool &
Fylde Schools and local amateur Rugby League Clubs
substantially increase the department’s outreach and
effectiveness.
