Grassroots sports offer a range of benefits for those who take part. Whilst improving fitness levels it provides many transferable skills and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as developing the skills needed to succeed in the sport, participants learn about the importance of teamwork and supporting each other to achieve something greater than individual successes. It also highlights the importance of adhering to rules and fairness, whilst exposing them to diversity within their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Kukri we are proud to support grassroots sports by offering a wide selection of bespoke teamwear. As the official sportswear provider for many elite partners, including Ulster Rugby Club, we offer products developed for professionals, which can be worn and designed by you for your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kukri Sports have been the proud sportswear provider for Preston Grasshoppers Rugby Football Club for over 10 years. We provide a competitive and training wear range for the mini and juniors as well as the Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1869, the club is one of the oldest \u2018Northern\u2019 rugby union teams. The following resolution was passed: \u2018That a club be at once formed in Preston to play football with the rugby rules of the game but without hacking. That the club be called \u2018The Preston Grasshoppers\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
