Age Groups action from Grangemouth

Clubs who have topped the table for any of the event group tables across all age groups are entitled to a free coach place at the National Coaching Conference on September 26/27 at the Emirates Arena.

The place should be awarded to a club coach from that event group. Clubs should contact Mark Munro (Head of Development) on mark.munro@scottishathletics.org.uk to confirm details
