UK Schools Games 2011
Posted by Vikki Bunce on 1 September 2011
Scotland's youth hockey internationals will have the chance to relish the experience of competing at a multi-sport international event when they take part in The Sainsbury's UK School Games in Sheffield from 1st-4th September.
A mixture of U16 and U18 players will feature for both boys and girls Scotland squads, competing in international fixtures against their British counterparts from England, Wales and Ulster. Sixteen players have been selected to represent Scotland, as well as reserves on stand-by.
The Sainsbury's UK School Games is a multi-sport event for the UK's elite young athletes of school age and will enable players to experience a four-day multi-sport environment that is designed to replicate the feel of major events such as the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games and Commonwealth Games.
The Games seek to create an inspirational and motivational setting, which not only provides elite young sports athletes to thrive and perform at the highest levels, but encourages more young people to take part and succeed in sport.
To find out how our boys get on please visit the Sainsbury's UK School Games website.
GOOD LUCK!
