Active Schools – Young Leader Residentials

Join us at sportscotland national centre Inverclyde, and utilise the comprehensive residential sports facilities onsite, to deliver transformative experiences in sport for your Young Leaders. Inverclyde is the perfect place to engage young people in team building, meetings and training opportunities.

The centre hosts a wide range of groups from across the sporting system, including SGBs, clubs, schools, and partner organisations. It is a regular base for pathway and performance training camps, competitive events, along with a thriving schools programme. In addition, the centre also plays hosts to a range of young leader and other active school programmes from local partners across Scotland.

The centre’s targeted work to increase participation amongst underrepresented groups have resulted in groups including care experienced young people and young carers, along with black & ethnic minority groups, along with school groups in identified areas of SIMD need.

The centre regularly works within the disability sport sphere, and is the first UK residential sports centre of its kind – designed for inclusivity.  

Local partners are encouraged to consider how they could use the centre to actively support engagement with targeted groups through summer of sport funding. 

About the centre

All set within an expansive 100 acre estate with stunning views over the river Clyde towards the Islands of Cumbrae and Arran. More info at Sport residentials.
