The Falkirk Stadium
Don’t miss this unique opportunity
to spend a week with Premiership club Falkirk as they prepare to
face Rangers or Celtic in front of 60,000 partizan fans!
Availability highly limited.
We are aware that many companies offer coaches trips to Europe. They
allow coaches to visit a number of academies, view some presentations
and enjoy a lively social schedule. Having received feedback from
coaches who have attended these tours they come home slightly disappointed
that they only scratched the surface at many clubs due to their size
and closed door policy.
Falkirk Football Club have decided to open their doors to coaches
(15 coaches 4x per year) to allow them to see all aspects of the
Club in a week running up to one of their biggest games of the
season, away at Rangers or Celtic.
The week will focus on the 1st teams preparation to the game. It
will also include presentations and free discussion with other members
of the Falkirk staff. The week will allow you to see the ambition
of Falkirk and show you the behind the scenes daily running of the
football club.
