Talent ID

February 4, 2014 Miss McColgan

Talent ID Day: Saturday 15th February

East Renfrewshire’s Active School Team and Swimming Development have organised in partnership with Scottish Disability Sport their annual Talent Identification Day. This is an opportunity for young people across East Renfrewshire who have a physical disability or visual impairment to come along and participate in a number of sports delivered by top coaches from around Scotland.

The event if for pupils aged 9-25 years and will be held at the NEW Eastwood High Sports Centre from 12.15-3pm. The last few years have been a great success so we hope we can build on the success from that and get more young people involved in sports. The pupils will be taking part in JUDO, Basketball and Swimming. Coaches will identify anyone that could potentially compete at a Local and National level.

If you need more information please do not hestitate to get in touch with the Active Schools team on 07800629690.
