Scottish Youth Internationals set for UK School Games in Sheffield
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.
