Outcome 6: We improve opportunities to participate, progress and achieve in Sport Current Context: In Angus we aspire to enable every athlete to fulfil their full potential and participate at whatever level they choose. At a performance level, Angus has a rich history in developing high performing athletes including representation at both Commonwealth and Olympic Games. Understanding the support our athletes require is essential as part of this. The local outcomes below are not just about performance sport, but also ensure our sporting system and opportunities are the very best they can be at every level for everyone across Angus. For our volunteers and coaches, there are opportunities to progress through education, developing key skills and transitioning into employment or community opportunities. This can be through
leadership opportunities, volunteering in clubs, modern apprentice schemes, Higher/Further Education courses and further opportunities for work experiences offered in partnership with the Developing Young Workforce programme. With over 80 clubs across 22 sports there are vast participation opportunities at every level. Over 25 of these clubs offer routes to compete at regional, national, and international level. Many community clubs offer participation only opportunities reinforcing social, development and wellbeing benefits. Angus schools have a strong history of providing participation and competition opportunities for young people, at local, regional, and national levels.
