Nominations for the Orkney Sports Awards close this Sunday. It’s a really easy process to recognise the people you think deserve an award this year.
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to Fraser and Lyle for travelling to Glasgow to start their Level 2 Coach training this weekend. They really enjoyed the course and we are grateful to Scottish Athletics for providing the training. We are so fortunate to have people like Fraser and Lyle who are willing to devote their time to increasing their knowledge and skills and then feeding that back into our athletes. You are greatly appreciated, guys!
We are also very grateful for the Tesco Groundworks Community Grant that helped us to fund this development for the Club.
I was on the course with Fraser and Lyle. It was lovely to meet and learn alongside them both!! Great dedication!!Jac
Great to see this
We had a small, but perfectly formed group of athletes for this morning’s cross country training! Being part of something bigger felt great, with groups across the north of Scotland all out doing it at the same time. Thanks very much to everyone who took part and to the coaches. We hope to do this again soon, so keep your eyes peeled for information about the next session.
Great session. Brilliant to have options of hill/no hills and 6-10 reps. Everyone pushing their own pace. Thank you. 👏
An update on the indoor season. It’s far from ideal but the best they can do due to the resurfacing at The Emirates. There are several open graded meets scheduled for the north of England that may be worth considering for track.
