🌟 Leadership & Team Building 🌟

Yesterday, we held a fantastic team-building training session with our new Active Schools Assistants, trainees and some of our sessional coaches! 🙌🏼

The group took part in a variety of fun team-building activities, including Boccia and New Age Kurling 🥌, helping to develop communication, teamwork and leadership skills along the way.

It was a fun and engaging session enjoyed by everyone, and the participants are now looking forward to putting some of their new skills and ideas into practice when working in schools! 💪🏼🏫

🌟 Yesterday we officially launched our 2026/27 Coach Academy West Lothian (CAWL) and Young Ambassadors (YA) programmes! 🌟

A fantastic 30 CAWL pupils and 17 YAs came together for team-building activities, made new connections with peers from across West Lothian, and completed the SCQF Level 4 accredited ETC Communication Module.

This was the first of several training days throughout the year, and we can't wait to work with our new recruits in schools. Wishing everyone every success as they develop their own skills and create more active opportunities for young people across West Lothian!
