Barclays Interest

Barclays has backed the Inverness Blitz Academy of American Football by donating a complete set of coaching kit and equipment. The award to Inverness Blitz has been made as part of the £30m grassroots sports programme, Barclays Spaces for Sports.
The donation is one of 1200 packs being awarded each year to ensure teams across the UK will benefit from the three year scheme.

Coach Robbie Paulin of the Inverness Blitz said “Having this extra coaching equipment means we can get into more schools and deliver a programme of American Football to more kids.”

Michelle Smith, Barclays Sponsorship Director said “ Barclays are delighted to be supporting the Inverness Blitz Academy of American Football and hope this coaching kit will lead them to greater success!”

Barclays Spaces for Sports, a partnership between Barclays, Football Foundation and Groundwork, will create sustainable sports sites and provide coaching kit and equipment to communities in most need of help across the UK.
