Scottish Highland Games Association
Participants
What we do for competitors and participants:
- We run ten sets of leagues throughout the season to encourage excellence in athletes and participation at members' events
- We're pioneering new national youth relay events; encouraging young people into sport whilst bringing new competitors and audiences into Highland Games
- Partnering the Schools Highland Games training that is happening in some regions
- We host our successful and popular end-of-season presentation awards, recognizing those who excelled in the year, celebrating success and encouraging athletes to be at the top of their game
- We target specific athletic clubs and associated sporting bodies to increase awareness of the opportunities Games provide and boost participation
- We champion athlete welfare by providing free personal injury insurance to all fully-registered athletes from children up to retirement age
- We keep athletes informed through newsletters, the web and e-mails
Background:
The work we do to help athletes also has direct benefits for our members, and with SHGA co-ordination the costs are minimal so everyone benefits. Athletes only enjoy the benefits when they are registered with us – for more information visit the registrations.
