In this edition of Sport First, we celebrate a significant landmark in the appointment of a dedicated Minister for Commonwealth Games and Sport and hear first hand from Shona Robison MSP on the Scottish Government’s ambitions for sport over the next four years.
After months of consultation with partners and stakeholders across Scottish sport,sportscotland launched its 2011-2015 corporate plan earlier this year. This new plan describes a clear focus for sportscotland over the next four years –a world class sporting system at all levels. We share further details of this new plan, and its six priorities of school sport, club sport, performance sport, people, places, and planning and partnerships.
At the start of this new plan our Chief Executive Stewart Harris discusses the principles that will guide our investment over the next four years. He also explains the organisation’s responsibility to provide Scotland with a return on public investment.
Also in this issue you will find an overview of work in the area of youth leadership development; an update on the work of the Active Schools Network; information on talent initiatives currently rolling out through Gold4Glasgow and news on the investment in high performance equipment at the House of Sport. We also profile the progressive sport of triathlon and give an update on how the community sport hub initiative is working on the ground.
