Email Template 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. Sports with a Primary need for Performance Facilities at NPCS.

(if part of overall athletics facility) Use Regular, but low numbers. Community (club) use anticipated – athletes on the pathway Squads @ weekends. Elite athletes during the day. 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.

  • Athletics Inclusive April - June 2021
    ATHLETICS INCLUSIVE APRIL - JUNE 2021 Welcome to the second edition of the quarterly equality, diversity and inclusion news from UK Athletics, Athletics Northern Ireland, England Athletics, Scottish Athletics and Welsh Athletics. PARA INCLUSION Welsh Athletics As part of our ongoing commitment to closer working with Disability Sport Wales [DSW], Welsh Athletics is in the process of recruiting a jointly funded Para Athletics Pathway Coordinator. We have seen great recent success at the European Para-athletics Championships with a total of 7 medals from Welsh Athletes and we hope this joint working will continue and build on this success as the organisation become more closely integrated. The role will support the development and progression of Para Athletes within the Athletics Pathway (from community through to performance) as identified by Disability Sport Wales and Welsh Athletics. It will aim to ensure that all Para Athletes within the pathway have access to appropriate and meaningful community opportunities to support individual needs. There will also be mentoring and upskilling outreach support for athletes, coaches, clubs and key contacts in collaboration with the DSW Performance Pathway Team and WA. This is an exciting opportunity in a role which will be fully integrated into the Welsh Athletics Performance team at the start of preparations for the Birmingham 2022 Games. Scottish Athletics With athletics training returning across the country, a Safe Return to Training guide has been produced for wheelchair and frame running to remind athletes, coaches and clubs of the extra safety considerations. The guidance highlights equipment checks, how to minimise risks, training safely on the track and training safely on the road.

The survey collected information from nearly 11,000 people across over 2,100 sports clubs and physical activity groups between December 2019 to March 2020. Respondents were aged eight years old upwards. Responses are primarily from club members and participants but also from coaches, volunteers and other people directly involved in sports clubs and physical activity groups across Scotland. The results have been weighted1 to take account of the Sports Governing Body (SGB) club membership populations in Scotland (age, sex and size of governing body membership). More detail on the survey method can be found in Appendix 2. The Active Scotland Outcomes Framework The Active Scotland Outcomes Framework (ASOF) is the Scottish Government’s policy framework for delivering a more active Scotland. This framework defines the Scottish Government’s key goals and targets for sport and physical activity over the next decade. Indicators for this framework are based on survey data covering the whole of Scotland. The ASOF covers a wide range of activity, including sport, fitness, active play, active transport, and other physical activity. In effect, these outcomes cover the entirety of the sport and physical activity sector. Click here to find out more about the Active Scotland Outcomes Framework.

  • Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
    Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages.

  • Posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir Were the Visitors to the Old Ground on Saturday As the SNCL Kicked Off for - Let's Hope - the Last Time
    Week one, win one [posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir were the visitors to the old ground on Saturday as the SNCL kicked off for - let's hope - the last time. The 'Loc hadn't played the maroon marauders from deepest darkest Larbert since 2003 as the clubs avoided each other in different divisions, and so it wasn't surprising that, bar respective veteran ever-presents Ferrier and Gardner, and Spence and Sheridan, the players on parade had no idea what to expect from each other. Mind you, that said, the two sides' pro's were rivals back in South African domestic cricket. Brian Spence's first job was - of course - to lose the toss, or more accurately watch as his Stennie counterpart win it. Batting. Why? Probably the visitors' skipper thinking being that wet weather in the days leading up to the game must've meant there was "something" in the pitch. And of course he was right; what was in it was water. Lots of it. HoVR opened with Captain Spence, and 15 was on the 'board when the latter was cleaned up by Angus [Ed: that's his surname!]. Dan then came and went for 2 and it was 28 for 2 when Bean joined the pro'. 26 runs later and HoVR had his fourth batting partner of the day as Nichty strode out. Determined to show that his deck was perfectly playable the Big Man would go on to top score in the innings, batting with almost as many partners as HovR - his 32 added to Hancke's 31 and Maddy 's 27 late on being the three scores around which a defendable total were built.
