A3. Good examples are clubs welcoming newbies along for free and the promotion of bringing/coming with a friend. This gives you extra encouragement and boosts participation! #SportHour

[sportscotland @sportscotland]

#SportHour | Q3. What good examples have you seen where people are encouraged to get involved in a new sport or physical activity?

[Katelyn Williamson @KatelynYpsp]

A2. Theres the obvious benefits that being active has on your body and mental health but a massive benefit is the bonds you form. It can be like joining a mini/large family and thats what I love ❤ #SportHour

[sportscotland @sportscotland]

#SportHour | Q2. What benefits do you think individuals gain from trying a new sport or activity?

[Louis Gallagher @LouisYPSP]

A1: I recently tried paddle boarding for the first time with the #SportPanel!

I initially felt a bit uneasy, as balance has never been my strong suit! I did fall in a few times, however, I quickly got a lot more confident. It’s always easier with friends, I think!

#SportHour

[Katelyn Williamson @KatelynYpsp]

A1. it can be daunting trying something new regardless but when I tried rugby last year as part of #FeelYourPersonalBest it gave me a sense of achievement and relief! I now play for the club and I never would of if I wasnt pushed out my comfort zone to try it #SportHour

[sportscotland @sportscotland]

#SportHour | Q1. Tell us about a time when you tried something new, how did it make you feel?

[sportscotland @sportscotland]

#SportPanel | Applications are now open!

[Maree Todd @MareeToddMSP]

Not having the right kit is a major barrier to participation - I heard about this brilliant scheme from the Young Peoples Sports Panel event yesterday.

[Maree Todd @MareeToddMSP]

Brilliant day spent with inspiring young folk - more power to them, they will change the world!

[Ordu Teleferik @OTeleferik]

Yesterday was amazing @InverclydeNSTC presenting our progress with the @sportscotland #sportpanel Discussing our ideas, experiences and our thoughts on sport in Scotland with @MareeToddMSP and Stewart Harris CEO of Sportscotland!

[Shane Smith @ShaneSmith197]

Interesting read.
By late teens, 1 in 3 girls quit sport, 1 in 10 boys.

Barriers to sports participation for girls include:
-Low confidence
-Perceived lack of skill
-Feeling unwelcome

Takeaways for parents coaches:
-Play Multisports
-Role models matter
