Our Programmes
Primary Schools Programme
RCFC Community team take pride in our thriving schools programme. In the 2019/20 school year we delivered to over 20 schools and over 2000 pupils per week. We aim to work with targeted pupils to close the poverty related attainment gap through our health and wellbeing interventions with the hook of football to achieve this. Our presence in schools has shown to increase pupil attendance, pupil engagement in their own education and participation in their local community beyond the school day.
Personal Development Programme S1-S3
Our PDP aims to encourage pupils to consider class attendance, time keeping, how to cope with behavioural or emotional issues and assist in engaging and delivering valuable life skills such as working together and communicating in and out of school. Pupils are asked to think about confidence and self-esteem through thought provoking classroom sessions that will discuss their future and life after school. Other topics that will be touched on are diet & nutrition, health & wellbeing, personal development through improving confidence and football.

Walking Football
Walking football is a slower paced version of 'the beautiful game'. It enables people to return to a sport they once loved or to try out a new activity that suits their fitness levels while ensuring the key principles of activity, participation and social inclusion.
Girls Only!

Holiday Programmes
During the school holidays we run an extensive Holiday Programme across the Highlands and Islands. These will normally be week long visits where we will run courses for kids aged 3-15. As well as travelling out with the club for a lot of these programmes we also run Train Like a Pro Camps and a Residential Camp at the club each year. These camps offer young RCFC fans a great chance to train at the club alongside Ross County’s first team while getting an insight of the inner workings of the club
Matchday Programmes
On home matchdays we deliver our Halftime Heroes programme where a group, club or school visit the club for pre match training, lunch and the opportunity to play on the pitch in front of the Ross County fans at halftime.
