Glasgow 2014 providing “phenomenal” legacy on sports participation |
|
By Tom Walker 06 Feb 2015 |
Hotel occupancy in Glasgow exceeded 99 per cent during the Commonwealth Games, with visitors spending an average of five nights in the country
|
Last year’s Glasgow Commonwealth Games have helped provide impressive increases in participation levels across the 17 Scottish sports that featured at the Games.
Figures from Sportscotland show that many Scottish sports have registered encouraging membership increases during the four-year Glasgow cycle, including a 58 per cent rise at Netball Scotland, a 49 per cent growth at Scottish Triathlon and a 37 per cent increase at Scottish Gymnastics.
In total, there has been an 11 per cent increase in memberships of the 17 Commonwealth Games sports’ governing bodies over the past four years.
Perhaps most impressive is the increase in qualified coaches.
In 2009-10 there were 4,808 level one coaches across Scottish grassroots sport and by 2013-15 the number had accumulatively increased to 16,489 – a rise of 243 per cent.
Over the same time period, the number of level two coaches grew from 764 to 4,202 – equating to a 450 per cent rise.
Describing the increase in coaching numbers as “phenomenal”, Sportscotland CEO Stewart Harris said: “The exciting build-up to the Glasgow Games and the spectacular success of Team Scotland last year has significantly helped raise the profile of sport, and these encouraging figures demonstrate the positive legacy impact of Scotland hosting the Games.
“It is terrific to see increases in the memberships of so many Scottish governing bodies which participated at Glasgow 2014 – as well as those that were not one of the 17 sports taking part.”
