The partnership will see the club expand its roots south of the Humber with the ultimate goal of getting more 'school-age participants' involved in the sport, creating more pathway opportunities for the club to sign players to their Centre of Excellence programmes, i.e., their scholarship, academy, and college teams.

The partnership also has the goal of developing future coaches and coaching opportunities, with the hope of creating more sustainable community clubs across the unity authority area of North Lincolnshire.
