Recently they have been selected for the Basketball National Academy U15 training squad!! They have 3 training days in October in Glasgow when they will find out if they have made the next training camp. The final team will be 12 players. Such a great achievement even to make the National Academy, particularly as they are U14s! 👏 Best of luck girls!

Celebrating Women and Girls in Sport Week!
Meet Charlotte, one of our incredible Bikeability Tutors and Active Schools Coordinator in Argyll and Bute, who has a passion for cycling. Read a bit more about Charlotte's journey and her message for Women and Girls below:

When growing up I used to be involved in many areas of dance but when going into secondary school these hobbies began to decline.

I got into cycling in 2019 by wanting to complete a local sportive with family and friends. From then my passion for cycling grew and that’s when I got more interested in sport in general.

Looking back, I still don’t fully understand why I dropped out and I wish I had kept sport going throughout my teenage years. This is why I am passionate about getting women and girls to find a sport they enjoy so this drop out doesn’t keep reoccurring and so they can feel the benefits of sport to their mental and physical wellbeing.

Alongside my Active Schools role, I volunteer as Women’s Officer for my local cycling club and this started because I wanted to encourage women to cycle no matter what their ability or goals were. This was also to show the social side to sport and how looking back I have made lifelong friendships through cycling.

When the opportunity came along to teach Bikeability to children and young people I thought this was a fantastic area to the job due to this being a passion and hobby of mine. I then looked to support specifically girls to cycle in order for them to gain this lifelong skill and perhaps motivate them to enjoy cycling or encourage them to try new a new sport/activity.

I then moved through the courses to then teach the course for instructors. From this I feel I can now get Bikeability out there to different areas across Argyll and Bute and get children and young people cycling in their everyday life.

Through these leadership roles I hope to inspire women and girls into sport and get them to give new hobbies a try and see if they might find something they enjoy. Trying new hobbies can positively impact your personal growth and development and I am now lucky enough to involve my passion for cycling in my career.
