Let's help get athletics on the go on the island!
🌟 Volunteers wanted – Bring Athletics to Skye! 🌟
Following feedback from parents through our Active Schools questionnaire, athletics came up time and time again as something families would love to see more of. To help make this happen, we’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to get involved!
We’re running a Scottish Athletics “LET’S GO” course (ages 14+, no experience needed)🏃♀️ What is LET’S GO???🏃♀️
The LET’S GO programme is a fun, inclusive introduction to athletics for children aged 5–12. It focuses on four simple actions:
Run | Push | Jump | Throw
It’s all about helping children stay active, build confidence, and enjoy movement in a supportive and welcoming environment.
📅 Course Date Tuesday 19th May
⏰Time: 5:00–8:00pm
🏢Venue: Fingal Centre, Portree
By taking part, you’ll gain the confidence and skills to support or lead sessions locally.
There’s also an opportunity to help deliver a weekly session (Tuesdays 5–6pm) at the Fingal Centre, with potential for sessions in other communities too.
💬 Whether you’re a parent, senior pupil, or simply someone keen to support opportunities for young people—your help could make a real difference.
If you’re interested, please get in touch by Friday 15th May.
