National Performance Centre for Sport Stage 1 bid document appendices Putting sport first APPENDIX 1 SPORT GOVERNING BODY DATA SHEETS SGBs Data Sheets This section contains data sheets on each of the SGBs that have expressed an interest in being part of the NPCS. Following the initial expressions of interest, sportscotland consulted with each of the SGBs concerned, to develop a clear understanding of any gaps they have in their facilities networks and to establish the extent to which they would use the NPCS. As a result of this work, sports which have identified a strategic need for performance facilities in key geographic areas have been highlighted with a primary need at the NPCS. Other sports which could take advantage of using the core facilities but do not have this primary need at performance level have been highlighted as a secondary users in the table below. Primary Need Secondary Use Athletics Badminton Basketball Cricket Football Equestrian Rugby Handball Tennis Hockey Volleyball Shinty Squash and Racketball SGB Information The information in the attached sheets should be used for guidance only and may change during the bid process. Further details of their facility requirement, usage and location preferences can be obtained from either the SGBs or sportscotland. It would be unrealistic for us to expect that all of the facility requirements identified by SGBs could be delivered through the NPCS. While our focus will be on ensuring the core facilities are delivered, we do want potential bidders to take cognisance of the geographical gaps identified by these SGBs when they are developing their bids. Equally, there may be justification for bidders including facilities for other sports where these can be justified in terms of their national, regional or local fit. Bidders are encouraged to discuss their proposals with sportscotland as early as possible to ensure there is a clear understanding of what would be considered part of the NPCS and those elements that would be considered complementary.

Hotel Accommodation Yes – to be confirmed Summary Excellent existing athletics provision in the West (eg Scotstoun / Kilmarnock / Emirates Arena) mean a west based NPCS would not be suitable for the sport as it would serve to draw users away from existing facilities and centres. Scottishathletics has a preference for a location in the East (accessible M8 / A720) recognising the NPCS as a possible opportunity to address the ongoing issue of a replacement for Meadowbank Stadium. They are clear they would move their home to the NPCS and would like the national centre to include one of only a few 400m indoor tracks in the world. The alternative Endurance Centre (gathering interest given likely indoor 400m capital cost) might be better suited in the Stirling area – using the natural environment as a basis. The proposed indoor 400m track would be an international asset, the business case to warrant such a facility is unclear. Failing this, the athletics requirement at the NPCS would be considerably less and concentrate on one of a series of regional Throwing Centres, with the potential to explore an Endurance Centre (with Triathlon, cycling etc) utilising natural resources (venue) and state of the art equipment (water based treadmill, AlterG machines etc. Basketball Basketball Scotland Caledonia House Redheughs Rigg South Gyle Edinburgh EH12 9DQ Contact Kevin Pringle, CEO tel: 0131 317 7260 e-mail: [email protected] www.basketballscotland.co.uk Background Members:c3,400 Clubs:93 Performance Athletes: 4 GB Top 200; c20 SIS Supported / basketballscotland Performance Athlete Olympic Sport: Y Paralympic Sport: Y Commonwealth Games Sport: Y (from 2018) Existing Facilities Requirements National Facilities Competition International & National Comps The Peak (Stirling); Free-standing FIBA Baskets; Meadowbank & The Show-court with current Pleasance (Edinburgh); standard floor markings; Lagoon (Paisley); Bleacher seating Emirates (Glasgow); Aberdeen Sports Village National League Only (i.e. not listed above or below for NS training) St Maurice’s Academy (Cumbernauld); The Mariner Centre (Falkirk); Portobello High School (Edinburgh); The Crags (Edinburgh); WHEC (Edinburgh); Training National Squad Training The Peak (Stirling); 2 x show-court baskets (wall St Augustine’s HS, mounted or portable); 4/6 Forrester’s HS & Holyrood wall mounted, height HS (Edinburgh); adjustable baskets Deans Community HS & Armadale Academy (West Lothian); North Inch Campus (Perth); Mayfield Sports Centre (Dundee); Aberdeen Sports Village (Aberdeen); Lagoon (Paisley); Milburn Academy (Inverness) NPCS requirements Outdoor None Indoor 9-court Games Hall – 3 full size courts Strength + Conditioning Physiotherapy + Hydrotherapy Education Office None required for FT Staff Use As per Appendix 5 Hotel Accommodation Relatively high use April – July for residential camps and visiting opposition. Summary basketballscotland currently has a number of facility partnerships with key facilities throughout Scotland. The partnerships include priority booking agreements and reduced rates for repeat bookings. Each of the venues we use has different merits, although The Peak in Stirling is the most commonly used for competition & training, due to it’s central location, size, seating & equipment, as well as the agreed rate of booking. Use of the National Performance Centre would enable us to be more targeted in our approach to facility usage. International & National Competitions & Training (primarily April – August) would be the main focus, although partnership with a club may provide a new home venue throughout the domestic season and help raise the standard of the National League competition venues. Our performance athlete support structure is currently under review, with the dual goal of supporting key athletes for GB representation at 2016 and beyond, as well as supporting Scottish teams for strong performances at 2018. A central location for training, support service provision and home-based International competition would support this aim, as has been proven with other centralised programmes around strong performance facilities. basketballscotland are well positioned to take advantage of the benefits offered by the NPC, in a performance setting. We look forward to developments in the NPC and to establishing a strong partnership between the facility and the governing body of this growing sport; both in terms of participation and performance.
